Default Best 3-4 in lift kits???

What's do you guys think is the best 3-4 inch lift currently available? I currently have a 3" BDS ($800) basic kit and was thinking of going a little higher. Looking for any drawbacks at that height and want to get one of the many complete packaged kits that are available. Thanks all!

Only response you'll get from people on here will be teraflex and aev. They r the best but too expensive for me. I run a rough country 3.5 series 2 and love it

Wrong. M picks were Rock Krawler or Full Traction. I went with the 3 " SRS Full Traction. Perfect, rides better than stock, no complaints. Installed Fox 2.0 and Fox Steering Stabilizer. Front and rear track bars as well.
