Budget, tires size you will be running, what are you going to do with it?

The people that run metal cloak are going to tell you how great their lift is, the ones that run teraflex will tell you how great their lift is, the rough country guys will tell you theirs ride great, better then stock, the rock krawler guys will tell you their lifts are great and "upgradeable". About 90% of the lifts on jeeps are just parts in a kit thrown on without any adjustments done to fine tune the suspension to the jeep it is installed on. Most have improper shock lengths or bump stops that are incorrect length that limit the actual suspension travel to less then stock.

The best lifts out there cost $30-$50K depending on the amount work you do and require cutting and welding on the frame fitting of parts and tuning of the shocks. These will let you drive 100 mph off road and land like a trophy truck off a jump.

I highly doubt you are in the market for the "best lift"
