How much do you want to spend and will you wheel it or is the lift just for show?

We need budget and what type of wheeling(if any) you'll be doing as jmm0122 said.

Anybody heard or tried out these lifts? http://zoneoffroad.com/prod-display?ca=1&ma=6&mo=62
Not sure if they are ok or not. Hate to get a no name lift that isnt safe.

umm..., it will be for looks, and at the most, i might have fun with it a little just going over small hills, no hardcore offroading. lol and for the budget, i mean ofcourse the cheaper the better. but my freind recomeneded the said the OME complete budget lift(http://www.rocky-road.com/xjome.html) is one of the better ones, but that will cost me about 850 plus shipping. but i think thats kind of expensive because ive seen 3 inch lifts for as low as $250 so i guess my question is, whats the difference of the OME one which will cost me 850 with the ones that are around 300$??? are there any reliable lifts for around 400-500?
