The search button is your friend my friend, haha.... there are many many threads.... Lifts depend on a lot of things, so the search will give you all options.

A lift in the 2.5" - 3" would be a good choice. I personally have a Teraflex lift and love it. Great pricing and has everything you need. If your looking for something of the higher end look at AEV. They have a 3.5" lift that would great. Keep in mind you will have to have longer shocks or exstensions to run any lift that clears 35's unless you get flat fenders. Also may need new drive shafts and you might want adj. control arms and track bars in the future to really dial it all in.

Lovin my Rubicon Express 3.5" with ProComp XMT 35s. Solid + holds all the extra weight and handles well. Aside from that, I've heard good things about AEV and Teraflex which were my runner ups.
Downside? Spendy, but you'll never have to buy another lift.

Hey there, well this a question that is very common here. As previously said there are alot of threads on this so take your time and do your research.
The first question I would ask yourself is what size tire do you want to run? This way you can determine how much lift you need and do your research from there. Bottomline the higher the lift the higher the price and more you have to do to do it correctly.
Good luck and don't be afraid to ask questions.
