ive only run teraflex and rock krawler, and i like the rk kit better. if you want a good kit without having to piece together shocks and bumpstops, etc, then teraflex is very complete

I see people recommending EVO, but those are much more expensive, different league for long arm, coil over, etc.
What is your budget? That determines everything. Lower budget = short/mid arm. Higher budget = Long arm.
Bottom line is you get what you pay for.

Ive been researching and debating what lift to get for months now and Ive come to the conclusion that the top three are EVO RK and Teraflex. Im pulling the trigger on EVO Enforcer w/ King 2.5" shocks in the next couple of weeks. I dont think can go wrong with any of those three, seems like they all make quality kits.

I'm in no way affiliated with AEV ... But I'd like to attest that in my 25 years of playing with suspension, customizing , converting etc...etc... I've yet to see bolt on suspension kits that are as well engineered and as well tuned as AEV .
But hey ... that's my 2 cents .

lift
well personally I love my O>M>E> lift.....ease of taking it off has prompted me each winter to take it off for the winter.....always
shocks me to back to stock suspension and realize the HARD kit from O>M>E> gives me a better ride .
had other lifts....by far my fav....
also ran 35s stock for one year and other than the clearance issues the stock suspension did well....
right out of the box the new style jeeps are great....

Lift
I vote Teraflex. I'm a newbie and the kit with coils and bilstein shocks was complete and relatively easy to install. I agree with the other post on this thread. The upper mount on the bilstein 5100 front
shocks can be a beotch!

Doesn't it matter what type of JK you have and if the lift is only 2.5"?
For example, a Rubicon doesn't need shocks, bump stops, and front sway bar disconnects for a 2.5" lift. A more complete kit would be unnecessary. (IMHO)
