If you are doing this mainly for looks, and you are happy with the ride quality of you Jeep now, why spend so much on a lift? I have the Rough Country Series ll spacer lift. The Series II kit includes: front and rear coil spacers, front and rear brake line brackets, front and rear shock relocation brackets, rear track bar bracket, and rear sway bar links. No need to worry about sagging over time, and it does surprisingly well off-road! All for under $180. Here are a few pics of mine with 35" tires:

I went with Skyjacker without enough research. My springs are so stiff I bounce all over the place. Once I feel I got my money's worth, or it breaks, I'm going with a TF long arm.

Yup, TF all the way! Saved a little money and did not get the coils, went with the 2.5" BB so I could spend some money on some other stuff other than just my lift. Kinda wished I had of gotten the coils, but will eventually swap it out for a TF 4" at some point.
Shocks you can choose yourself, I went with the TF ones but I would take them or some others over the extensions.

I've had the Rc 2.5 inch coil lift with their shocks for over a year. And have not had one problem with it. It has not sagged one bit. I've been running 35's the whole time.
And im sure the teraflex is a great kit. But I just can't see paying the money f
or it.

I agree 100%
I have pondered over this question for awhile, Rough Country or Terra Flex. After a reliable referral from a friend I trust very well I gave the Rough Country 2.5 inch lift with shocks a chance. I installed the kit myself in about 4 hours. For the price you just can't beat the Rough Country kit. My 2011 rides even better now than it did stock and you sure can't beat the price. As a side note if you do the install save yourself some time and aggravation by renting a set of spring compressors from Pep Boys or Auto Zone. I did the install without them but it was a real tight fit and I would not try it again without the compressors.
I also have a 2011 JK mine is a 2dr a buddy and I put the RC 2.5" Coil and Shocks...way better than the stock set up it has a good stance and I love it!
