it all depends on what you plan on doing, looks or wheeling? did you decide what wheel/tire combo that you're getting? i would get the RC 2.5 suspension with the 1.25 lift because I live in the city.

3.5in is way better. body lifts suck and itll be easier to put the 3.5 in lift on since you going to the suspension lift either way. why give yourself more work?

I agree also. 3.5 works great. Added the LCA drop brackets and a flipped drag link. Left off dropped pitman arm and drives better than stock. Mines a full time DD. will only see dirt roads and a few small trails.

The 3.5 is by far better bang for your buck. The 2.0's have a much better road ride than the 2.2's. Also adding control arm drops are a huge plus. Adding a little caster goes a long way with handling and the lower fram position gets the arms back to level which means better ride.

The 3.5 is a great lift. I have over 10,000 miles on mine. Get the adj. trackbar and don't mess with the pitman arm. I love mine but am still running stock rubicon tires.
