BDS and OME are at the top of the list. RC is probably the cheapest. (Price wise) Maybe give a little more info on what you want your rig for. IE mostly DD Hard core wheelin ect... It really does come down to what you can afford. Long arms can be added later to replace the short control arms.
The problem with these type of threads is that by page 2 it will be people bashing every kit.

Rough country is fine, their springs and shocks are known to where out fast, I run their long arms and they are awesome, but I use doetch tech shocks and rubicon express shocks, at the height you're going, I'd stick with a RE short arm kit.

Most every kit will make the jeep ride like a pick up. But that is the nature of lifted trucks.
If you think you will go more hard core, then you may want to consider a custom set up.
I install a lot of lifts on trucks. Rough country is by far the number one seller. Probably the prices no doubt.

I still think these are some of the best kits on the market for the price

just gotta know how much money you want to spend and what components you want. I've always wanted to see someone get that full traction kit. it looks sweet

I agree with the serious and full traction. Heres another to look at. Zone is made by BDS.

OME - Old Man Emu. BDS - Big Dicks Suspension. ("to go deep in the bush you need big dicks) LoL. Anyway a long arm is just that a longer control arm. Do some research. Read some reviews and get what you can afford.

A long arm kit will give you better articulation and a smoother ride. When adding a lift thw angle of the control arms can get ridiculous. A long arm kit will bring the angle back down to almost a stock angle.
