I have a 2012 with a RC 2.5" coil lift. Love it. Not one problem and I do some offroading every other week. Its great for DD and for a 2.5" lift you dont need much else. As AEV and Rough Country say, a 2.5" lift isnt really too much to need all the other things that the other lifts offer for more money.
Honestly. If your not looking to rock crawl every weekend on tuff trails i wouldnt get the more expensive stuff.
Here is a video with my jk and lift

+2
I installed the Max Travel 2.5" on my 2013 JKUR last Saturday with the Fox 2.0 shocks (the shocks are the 4-6" lift version which is recommended for this lift).
I love it! Haven't fully flexed it out yet (I still have a few things to finish up to make sure it's trail worthy -- front spring clips, full alignment, get the jam nuts torqued to spec, etc), but the daily drive is fantastic! As others have mentioned, it's slightly stiffer than stock, but the other driving characteristics are just as nice, or even smoother, than stock.
Combined with the added height of my new Duratrac 315/70/17's, I got a total of +4.5" front and +4.25" rear.
The lift alone provided about +3" front and +2.75" rear.
This kit is rock solid!

for the op:
from what u listed I would go with Teraflex, but first check out the Evo Enforcer Kit. this can be ordered with 3" plush ride coils. its more expensive but has more components and u will be set up.
