Default Decision on lift

I cant make up my mind on a lift ive been looking at either

Rough country 3.5" Series II Kit or Rough country 4" lift

Or if anyone has any other ideas i wanna stick around 3.5"-4" and around $500 no more than $600. Any suggestions? Also ill be running Nitto Trail Grappler 35-12.50-17.

oem drive shafts start becoming more of an issue the higher you go. so, it kind of sounds like you are on a budget. if your goal is to fit 35's than i'd opt for the smaller lift. if you plan on doing bumpers and armor at the same time as you put on the lift i would opt for the larger coils.

I have been looking at the same lift kit. while i have heard the whole " go big and go home" with the drive shafts i believe someone on the forum here did a write up on the skid trim that rubs on the boot. I have had issues of Death Wobble and hopefully this kit with the lower end and a new adj trac bar will get rid of this. Plus its an excuse to get a lift kit while saving money from the stealerships. They Quoted me a price of $467 for just the trac bar without labor which is BS its less than 200 on the mopar site. But the math makes sense to the girlfriend and hopefully see has taken my hints for a christmas gift.
