Default I'm not sure which lift kit

I have $1000 to spend on the Jeep. I am leaning towards a new front bumper (warn rock crawler stubby) and a budget lift. It is either that or spend the majority of it on the lift and wait another day to get the bumper.

These are the budget kits I'm looking at:

Skyjacker 2.5-3.5" Sport Lift Kit with Hydro Shocks
Rubicon Express 2.5" Budget Boost Suspension System
Daystar 3" Lift Kit in Black with Scorpion Shocks

Any recommendations, reviews, or comments regarding these lift kits? I'm not sure if there is anything else with each of them that I would need to purchase or not.

Thanks.

cant go wrong with teraflex.. dont skimp on the shocks though, they can make or break your ride quality.

I would get the bumper I wanted and then save for a better quality lift kit.
