What size lift? Either will work, but front lowers are considered to be the better choice.
Uppers should be less expensive. They are slightly more difficult to install since you may need to cut off a bolt or pry the exhaust out of the way. They are adjusted shorter than stock, so at taller lift heights may not go short enough to get the caster where you want it.
Lowers are generally more expensive. They are adjusted longer than stock, so would be the better choice if only doing one set on a taller lift. Beefier than stock arms, which can be a plus for dragging across rocks.

PS: I was lazy and took it to a alignment shop... They would touch it. To much work for them i guess. Evo's they probably will
