Narrow down what you are looking for. With an open ended question, you'll get about a bazillion different suggestions and somewhere between very few and none may actually fit your needs.

If you need help on lift height vs tire height, or suggested components for various lift heights, check the FAQ's stickied right at the top of this modified area. If you want pics of various lift heights and tire heights, go down to JK Show & Tell, then click the Show Off Threads sticky at the top.

what size tires are you running/planning to run? A lot of lifts are different in actual height too. A 3 inch from one company might net you 4 inches while a 3 inch from another might get you 2.5

I picked OME for the ride quality and lift. Advertised 3" got 3.7, but after I add bumpers and winch, it'll settle down to about 3. I got the 3" so I could run either 33's (like I have now) or later go to 35's.
