time for new suspension (advice needed)
I have been running 1.75" daystar spacers with my stock rubicon springs and shocks and I've got 95,000 miles out of this setup. Its a pretty rough ride so I'm pretty sure that anything I get is going to be better.
Ideally, for my next stage, I'd like to do a 3-4" suspension lift and upgrade from my 35" tires to 37s. So here is where I need your help. I prefer a comfortable ride but I also want performance as well. What kit is going to give me 3-4" of lift and a comfortable ride and it the most complete and best value? I love Rock Krawler but I'm not in a position to spend as much as they are charging for systems without shocks. I want a kit that has everything I need including geometry correction. Thanks for reading and I'm looking forward to your advice (recommendation on pricing and where to go would be helpful). I've got an install shop here in Keene and there's another one in Manchester NH but I don't have a relationship with either so I'm looking to you all for advice.

Id go with Clayton Offroad. They put a lot of thought and effort into their products. Can't beat their customer service either. Ride quality on and off road is spectacular. They are definitely worth looking at.

Complete and value are subjective terms and I am sorry you are not going to find what you are looking for if a rock krawler lift is out of your budget. As far as the ones mentioned, non of them are complete. At 4" of lift you are going to be replacing just about everything under the jeep to correct the geometry as much as you can.
This is the most complete kit that I have seen offered but am not a fan of it and would not recommend getting it. | TeraFlex Suspensions
Its your jeep though feel free to do what you want with it.
Use the search function and you will find your question answered about 10000 times, mostly by people that are new to jeeps and bought a lift based on the price point, that have no actual knowledge of the jeep suspension and how the components interact with each other.
