Please, please spend some time searching the forum. This has been gone over to death. Everyone is going to tell you their lift is best...so in that spirit, I recommend Teraflex!

TeraFlex makes a good kit at an affordable price....dont forget wheel spacers if you want to run 35's on stock wheels.

ha this x2.

im personally a rock krawler fan, but am running a lift i made my self using rock krawler coils. Imo most kits are pretty comparable in that range.. Personally id do the lift yourself and save a ton of money and possibly get a driveshaft with the savings?

With that budget you can get a good spring/ca setup along with shocks. If you have any mechanical inclination or have any buddies that do, do the install yourself over a weekend or less. The Evo, RK, TF, etc are all great kits along with some Bilstein shocks. I haven't used them but TF spings run a little tall and are a bit on the firmer side of a ride, the Evo kits is supposed to be really plush. I run the RK 3.5 mid kit and and like it a lot, its a bit firm but I think its more the Fox shocks than the springs in my case.
