If you want to save drive shafts then stay at 2.5" or so. Clayton makes a nice lift though.

Boy!! Rough Country really catches it from some of you guys. I have the 4" X-Series with all the trimmings and LOVE it and paid not even close to what some of you have forked out for a lift kit. GREAT job Rough Country, keep doing what you do with your product and customer service. I'm buy from you anytime!

You might look at the Rancho 4" Sport Lift if your rig is gonna be a DD with only occasional wheeling duty. Your use sounds a lot like mine and I love mine. It can be installed yourself if you are so inclined. Mine didn't need an alignment after installation either.
It costs between $1000 & $1150, but has a $500 rebate right now sow net cost will be $500-$650.
Some will tell you that you have to replace your drive shaft with a 4" lift. I've been running mine for 7 months and one 10k miles, including wheeling and I don't have any signs of drive shaft failure. I'm not saying it can't or won't happen, just saying I haven't had any problems yet. I'll cross that bridge when/if I get ther.
Feel welcome to PM me if you want more details. Good luck in your choice.

I have the RC 2.5 coil and shock lift and I'm looking to swap it out with a TeraFlex lift as soon as possible. RC has great customer service, when my original coils started to sag they sent out 4 brand new coils. However I've been running this lift for about a year and a half or so and the ride quality has gotten progressively worse over time.
I've also trimmed my flares and I still rub at full flex but it isn't bad at all. I'd recommend staying at the 2.5" height, no drive shaft trouble, and a lower center of gravity is nice to have.
