If it was in the budget I would personally choose the 4.5 or 5.5 extreme duty long arm kit from RE, thats what most of the TJ owners in my club run. But some also have the superflex and they work quite nicely too. :D

Unless you're going over 33's you can stick with standard control arms.  I'd choose TeraFlex or Rubicon Express.  Can't really go wrong with either.

the teraflex seems pretty good with its two piece control arms but everyone i talk to seems to love the rubicon express lifts. I want to try and install the lift myself so im not gonna try a long arm lift. How hard is it to install a regular lift, do i have to do any cutting or grinding? really just comes down to wich one do yall think would flex the best and wich one would be easier to install? Also with the sye kits do you have to measure the drivshaft and install the sye after u install the lift or can i go ahead and order one and install it before i get the lift? Thanks for all the help guys if you cant tell im bit of a newb and the jeep is a daily driver so im trying to do everything right. thanks again
