A lot of people like the Teraflex 2.5 bb. Aev makes a good kit too. It comes down to how much you want to spend

Rock Krawler Max Travel 2.5" System. the pro version is aluminum. price is on par with all the stuff it comes with. there is a good video on youtube showing how strong their stuff is. *************.com Product Review: Rock Krawler's Steel and Aluminum Tie Rods - YouTube the pro is lighter than steel includes brake lines, adjustable front trackbar, tie rod and lower control arms. 2.5" is perfect for 35" tires. that'sthe one i'm saving for

thats true, well thanks anyways. And how much was your set up?
