Any of the more popular companies will be fine, but you really should try to learn a bit more about what all of the various components actually do - so that you can make some determinations on what is right for you rather than getting slammed with a bunch of advice after the fact. Again...

AEV generally gets good reviews for onroad handling. MetalCloak and Rock Krawler, OME, Synergy, Teraflex, etc. All are very popular with folks here, and are worth looking at. Just take note of which components are included, and try to read more reviews than just this one thread.

I honestly think a budget boost would be a good option for you but if you're not interested in that take a look at the Teraflex 1.5" spring leveling kit. It raises the front 2" and the rear 1". I think this would look fine with your new tires and you aren't lifting so much that you get into all the other expenses that come with a bigger lift.

Good advice from nthinuf, just want to add a couple features to look for. Consider a lift that has adjustable control arms to keep wheels/axles centered in wheel openings, this also can help with driveline angles. Another thing to look at is the type of ends used on control arms, are they bushings, spherical rod ends or a combo of the two. This will make a slight difference in ease of axle articulation or flexibility on the trail. Hope this helps in your search!
