Default 3 - 3.5 Recommendations

So I've done plenty if research here. An I want to hear first hand recommendations on which 3-3.5 lift you run. I would like to know how the on road ride quality is because let's face it most of our time is spent on road and I would also like to know how it flexs offroad. I would also like to know what you didn't like about the kit and things you don't like about the lift overall. I'm not planning to run long arms either. Thanks for y'alls help it's appreciated.

What is your price range? Are you automatic? Do you also want upper and lower control arms? Steering stabalizer? Drive shafts?

Looking for just lift I have an Auto and will replace the front shaft when that time comes. Price range is up to 1500 and I would prefer no control arms because I want to run Rokmen and try them out in a JK.

Rock Krawler 3.5" mid arm is in your budget and has great reviews.
Full Traction 4" is another great system with good customer service.

Do you know the on road ride quality of these? I don't want to settle for something that is going to rattle my teeth loose going down a country road.

Also are you looking for 3.5" of lift or a 3.5" lift kit? Because more 2.5" lifts will actually give you 3-3.5" of actual lift. In that case, I would suggest the Teraflex 2.5" kit

How can you be sure your going to gain over 3 inches of actual lift after the springs settle?
