Default Lift Kit Help

I am looking at putting a 2" to no more than 3" lift kit on my 4dr JK. I am looking at the MOPAR lift because it has all the bells and whistles and I can be confident that everything will correctly after the install. Does anyone have any suggestions for aftermarket lifts. I do not mind spending a little extra money but the main thing I am looking for is a complete lift that ensures all angles are and parts line up correctly. If something goes wrong with my Jeep I want to give the dealer as little reason as possible to blame it on my lift.
Thanks
Cameron

just because it's a "mopar" lift doesn't mean it comes with all the bells and whistles or that it's even a better product than what you can get from most aftermarket companies today. also, there is a big difference between a 2" lift and a 3" lift. at 2", you can do a budget boost and call it a day but at 3", you need to start thinking about your brake lines, new shocks, front driveshaft if you have an auto, longer sway bar links, adjustable track bars and control arms. how big of a tire are you wanting to run?

I have 33" tires but when I need new ones I am going consider 35" I am not sure yet I still have a lot of miles on my current ones. If I get one of the budget boost doesn't that just stretch my current shocks and not actually give me any more suspension travel or articulation, forgive my ignorance if I am wrong I am new to all of this.
