Whats youre budget? what do you want to achieve? are you going wheeling or mall cruising?
There are many good choices out there, with lots of options, do some research on here (jk forum) you'll get ALOT of ideas what is best...
Teraflex, BDS, Rubicon, to name just a few.... all have good warranties, all are good quality, all have good customer service.
Buy a kit to fit you're need, and budget, and know that you can always upgrade when $$$ becomes available, with any of these companies.

Thanks for the input guys. I guess I'm torn b/c the more expensive of the 3 don't come with shocks and its more money I'll be spending on top of they're already high price.
I'm not looking to be a full on rock crawler. I'm going to new mexico in october for a back packing trip but would like to be able to clear a few more obstacles. I've never had much problems stock, but I'd like to be a little more prepared for the unexpected.

From the looks of it the TF 2.5" coil lift w/ shocks is pretty much the most popular. Must be a reason for it.....

Default My .02 cents

I agree w/ all the other comments I would go w/ the Teraflex as well. I have ordered my lift from David @ Northridge which is essentially the OME HD however, I substituted the 2" OME HD springs for 3" Teraflex.

Just keep in mind that you get what you pay for. I want to make sure my system will provide the best ride and handling. It is my daily driver.

I have an OME, but I see the teraflex is pretty popular ! The OME heavy spings ride a little on the rough side
