I have been saying nothing but good things about bds but just last week I started having trouble with my track bar. the ruber gromets in it are more like plastic and are already wearing out. i have 7k on my jeep!!!!!! what good is a warranty if you have to replace a part every 6-7k bought a TF replacemnet and will be upgrading to a TF or Rock Krawler lift soon!!!!
if you just plan on mall crawlin it would problably be a good lift because it rides very good.

I can't complain about my BDS budget boost. I heard that their coils are not that great. I had FANTASTIC results with a 3" BDS on my old cherokee.
However, if you really want to get a 3" lift, I would go with teraflex or OME.

the cam bolts never stayed "true" every time i wheeled the tabs for the cams just were not big enough to hold the cams in place. It had gotten so bad that the axles was actyally shifting inside the cut out slots. before i replaced the lower control arm brackets, i looked at them and noticed the tabs were FLAT and there was nothing there to hold cams in place.. I cant say the cam bolts are a bad design because my TJ is fine with them; howver, i will say the control arm bracket on the JK is a horrible design and is not good for cam bolt use. On the up side I now have RocKrawler lower control arm mounting bracket that are pretty much bomb proof
