I would suggest checking out Rock Krawler as well.

I want something thats reliable. Nothing that's gonna break every few months. Also i want something that runs well with 33. Definately will look into Rock Krawler.

Why such a big lift to only run 33's? I'm not bashing you, I just have a feeling that you could save yourself a ton of money if you only want to run 33's.

TF is named a 3", but we all know you get more lift then stated. Im assuming your looking at short arms. Between those 2, either way would be TF. RK makes a nice lift too, definately check em out. RK & TF are reliable lifts. Small differences in what the kits come with. Dont forget other goodies like driveshafts, etc.

Well then definitely check out rock krawler and teraflex. If you're only going to run 33's no reason to go with a 3.5" lift. Check out the rock krawler 2 1/2" max travel or the 2.5 teraflex coil lift and get yourself some control arms and a trackbar to go along with it.

The ones you mentioned are quality products I'm just partial to Rk. If you only plan to run 33's then you could probably get away with a 2.5 " lift.

To run 33's, all you need is a leveling kit or a 2.5" kit. With a TeraFlex 3" kit you can run 35's under it.

Small differences in what the kits come with. Those lifts are quite a bit for 33's & youll start needing additional goodies. 33's, Id just go w/some flat fenders. Just FYI, Im running TF 3" on 37's.
