Default Ebay, suspension lifts....

i have been looking for suspension lifts for a while and im a very causous buyer when it comes to this much money and possibly meesing up a vehcile.
i found kits with everything recommended that are 3" for 2,250 dollars but on ebay the same thing with everything (not same brand) but also 1" higher is only 1,100... why is that?
are they $1,000 cheaper because they suck? one brand is Rough country here is that link
cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4-JK-JEEP-WRANGLER-LIFT-KIT-X-SERIES-2007-2010-/360242653010?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item53e022a752#ht_2162wt_1034



the other brand is orv here is that link

cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ORV-4-LIFT-KIT-Jeep-WRANGLER-JK-4-DOOR-2007-10-4-DOOR-/190346036671?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories &hash=item2c518205bf#ht_1520wt_879

That kit is not worth $1200 .

Poly Bushings, Non Adjustable Control arms , Trackbar Brackets , Loud sway bar links . I can go on and on .

Ok so this question comes up a bunch.

In My opinion You need a better lift kit then the guy who who is building a weekend warrior not a daily Driver.

When you are going 60 MPH you need things to be perfect more than the guy who is wheeling his rig and not driving it daily.

You need to get a kit In my Opinion that has some adjustable control arms and uses Rubber bushing or some type of Joint.
