Good evening everyone I have a 2011 JK two door 70th anniversary, interested on installing a 4” lift kit that will give me a true 4” lift, looking for something that is not Crazy expensive but still has a good Reputation, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks

Cheap and good reputation do not go together very well. Why don't you tell us what your break the bank amount is? Many on here say you buy a cheap lift kit then you go buy a quality expensive one after that. You can build by component from a quality supplier to help stay within budget. But at 4" you definitely need caster correction in the form of front UCA or LCA's. Then possibly drive shafts as the stocker ones will work for a while then break the rubber boot. $$$ start to pile up here.

You previously installed a 3" BDS lift. Guessing that is being scrapped now? There's no reason you can't just add a spacer on top of the coils if you want a bit more. Personally, I think folks get too caught up in some actual number unless you're trying to fit 40s in a space they can't currently fit.
