Default Would you switch lifts?

The question is,, if you started building another jeep would you go to a differant lift system?
Even though I have had no issues with my OME lift on my 2 dr since I put it on 3 years ago I'm going to go through the process of picking the right lift again for the Unlimited I have on order. New and improved systems may have come around since I last paid real close attention. And right now I'm lifted right at 4 to 4 !/2 inches. Maybe I won't go as tall this time.
Even concidering a mid arm or long arm. One thing I did learn is get a full kit the 1st time

I'd go probably go with the TF 3-inch lift instead of the 4-inch I got. I had dreams of 37s, etc. 35s are fine.

I'd go with the Evo coilovers and Long Arm kit. One of these days I will upgrade from my TF 2.5" lift.

I have the same decision. My 08 has about 4" of lift from an OME HD with 1" spacers. Although I have not had any issues with the lift, I am evaluating what to do on my 2012 Rubicon Unlimited that shows up in a week or so. I am thinking no lift or small spacers keeping my stock coils since the Rubi coils are stiffer than my X coils were. I still want 35s though but want a lower center of gravity than my 08 has.

I would have kept my TF 2.5" coil for the 35s vice going to a TF 4". Both great kits, but could achieved the same results keeping the 2.5" for much less money.
