Which kit, and why?
 
Ok, so I'm trying to make up my mind on a lift kit and want some help deciding...I don't have rocks in MS, but will be using my rig to trail ride, mud, deer camp, etc...it's a '12 2dr auto with 3.21...I currently live/work in Iraq, and won't change the gears out until Dec when I get home, so don't use that as a "limiting" factor...I'll be running 15" wheels and 35" tires on chopped fenders...I just purchased all 8 control arms from Teraflex too (so that's why I'm not looking at say the RK Max Travel for example). I don't want to have to change drive shafts right now.

1) RK Stock Mod, Bilstein 5100s, bumpstops, brake lines/relocations - ~$1000 shipped
2) Teraflex 2.5 kit with TF shocks ~$730 shipped
3) Full Traction 3" Economy Plus kit with Nitro shocks - ~$900 shipped
4) AEV 2.5" DualSport XT with Bilsteins - ~$900 shipped
5) Rancho Sport 3" with RS9000XL shocks - ~$1100 shipped
6) Any other ideas?

Constructive feedback is greatly appreciated too!

Thanks,
Kevin

Well, as luck would have it, I was pushing the buy button on ebay for the control arms and didn't get them, so the above post is now worthless...back to the drawing board!

I like teraflex myself. 2.5 coil lift with shocks. Good luck on your decision.

Teraflex is my preference.

Yep, got a PM from DTD here and they said that it was a misprint and they had to refund everyone's money. Back to the drawing board is going to result in me just purchasing the 2.5 Flex with Bilstein 5100s. I'll buy the adjustable control arms in "stages" as my budget allows.
