Well, you probably need to answer some questions to get a better idea of what you want. You have to remember also, some answers will be personal preference.

How much do you want to spend? What will the JK be used mostly for, extreme rok crawling or your basic mud hole powerline outing? Are you going to install yourself? What size tires are you wanting to run?

I am installing a Rough Country 4" in the morning. I also purchased the new dual front stabilizer they just marketed. After alot of research on here, I decided not to use the cam bolts and bought Rustys adjustable lower front control arms.

Good luck with your decision, and search, search, search. There is a plethera of info on here.l

I need a trail jeep, both rocks and mud and yes I do know it's hard to find a kit that will do well in both areas. The tire size will change because of the mods i'm planning on doing (like tube fenders)

you probably are going to need new driveshafts and longer brake lines too if you are going to be taking it off road. also with that size tire a regear will be necessary if you want to keep your acceleration close to stock. But it will all be well worth it
