Default Best 2" to 3" Lift Kits for the Money

Would like opinions of what you think are the best lift kits that will give you anywhere from 2" to 3" of lift, easily clear 35" tyres, and include shocks.

Teraflex for me is the best value out there. OME is a great lift kit, but I have 3 issues with it: 1) it's not a 2.5"-3" lift kit - it's more like 3.5" 2) it's not as complete as the kits Teraflex offers and 3) it's much more expensive.

Nothing wrong with any of the others though.

It is expensive, but I'm sure there is the added value that OME did their research very well before rushing to market a lift kit for the JK...as for complete, many have commented that there is really nothing else needed with this lift...just the springs and shocks, and you're done; unless, of course, you plan on 37" tyres ...I may be wrong.

You left off Full Traction and Fab Tech although I can see Fab Tech being in the "other" along with Currie.
