This is the one I went with and love it, comes with spacers for the skid plate so you don't tear your drive shaft boot and no cam bolts. You may want to get the Dual Steering Stabilizer also. Just my 2 cents.

LOL no hassel and no death after i put on the Dual Steering Stabilizer. Took a trip to potter Co just after the install (4.5 hour drive from home) most of the way was going about 75/80 MPH and NP. Only hassel was HOTOIL and that has nothing to do with the lift just that jeeps trans cooler don't work so good. And like I said me and the wife put it on , if you know how to spin a wrench you will be OK.

I have a teraflex 2.5 coil and shock lift. I run 35s and go out on the rocks with no problem. I travel a lot on the highway at 70-75 mph and have never had any death wobble or anything like that. I just ordered the evap relocated bracket and the front sway bar disconnects. Other then that haven't found much more I need. I do however want the flex arms at a later date. When I get the bumpers front and rear and add more weight I may go with some small spacers just to keep the height and level.

Rather than keep throwing up kit after kit, you should step away from the "I want to buy right now" button and do a little more research. Figure out what all of the different components do. And what the difference is between brackets and fixed and adjustable arms. And why you might want longer links or disconnects. And what bumpstops do. And why you might want them. And what caster is. And when you might want to correct it. And which of the 4 caster correcting options is right for you. And...

Once you have a handle on that, you will be able to look past the dirt cheap price tags, compare the components, and decide which lift is right for 'you'.
