Default Choosing a 3inch Lift

I know that there is tons of information about different types of lifts on this site. But still not the answer I have been looking for. I have searched for hours looking for an answer. I have a 95 XJ i want to do 3in lift. My options are Rough Countrys Series II w/Leaf Springs or Rustys 3in w/Leaf Springs. It is my daily driver i already have a set of 31's on it. I already doing some mudding and am hitting my first trial ride this weekend. And continue to hit the trails every other weekend. Opinions on each lift would be greatly appreciated, pics also would be great. These are the two lift options becuase of there price. Also would like to know what else would be needed with each kit.

I have the RC series II kit as well, and I like it alot. Upgrade to the nitro shocks is your budget allows for it, they ride much better than the standard shocks IMO. I also ended up needing to do some rear upper bar pin eliminators for the rear shocks due to shock thump. I used parts from the rear sway bar to make some BPEs myself though, cheap fix. As far as the rustys goes, I have no experience with their kits so I can't really say, I've heard they ride rough, but are decent quality.
