AEV if you want brackets. People are going to chime in with the lift they're running. I have no complaints with my Teraflex and as stated, RK and Evo are awesome as well.

x2, was happy with the TF lift on my '08 but may give RK a try this time around on my '12. I would stick with the 3 companies below, have heard a lot of good reviews on their products and customer service...
  1. Evo
  2. RockKrawler
  3. TeraFlex

Others
-OME
-Clayton
-Currie/RockJock

each to their own. It all depends on what kind of wheeling you plan on doing and the weight of your mods can play into it as well. OME is great for carrying a ton of weight for an expedition build. I sing praises about TERAFLEX as well, but those are the only two that I have direct experience with. RK has always gotten good reviews, but I haven't driven one on RK yet.

I've got the rk 2.5 max travel kit with bilstein 5100s and have no complaints. I had it narrowed down to the tf and rk kits when I was shopping, called both companies numerous times with questions, and found out that both companies have EXCELLENT customer service. I'm sure both kits are great but the rk kit had excellent reviews and was more complete to me.

Subjective, people tend to praise what they run. I've run 3 different kits, RE BB, 4in Superlift, Teraflex 4in. I'll most likely end up running coilovers at some point cause I'll never be completely satisfied.It's a jeep thing .

I installed a teraflex 2.5 on my jk a couple weeks ago an install went great. I have no complaints with the install other than the front passenger side shock is a pain in the ass to install but that's not a teraflex issue, it was a pain trying to tighten up my bilstein shock.
