Question I am sure this has been asked too many times...lift question

I am in the market for a 3.5 inch lift, I see all different kinds of kits some with trackbars, some with lower control arms some without. I am not looking to do any hardcore wheelin but I do enjoy some unimproved roads every now and then you know what I mean, but anyways what is a good kit out there for me? I want something complete where I will not need anything else, I have heard that lifting will make my jeep more high maintnace is that true? I would like to have a something good but not too pricey... and what is with the vibration thing i hear some of you get after lifes does that mean I should plan for a SYE swap? or will i be fine without one? I am a newbie so forgive my ignorance

From the suonds of it you dont need anything to fancy but I dont know much about the daily driver type cehicles so if you use the search tool at the top of the page I assure you, you will find endless information on this topic

Remember there are three ways to do things
good, fast, and cheap
you can only have two at a time
Good and fast is not cheap
Good and cheap is not fast
cheap and fast is not good

endless and endless information... youll be ok with a add-a-leaf kit since you dont really wheel... u wont get vibes... u can run 31's with 3.5in max without trimming fenders... an adjustable trac bar is better then a trac bar bracket... but in you case a trac bar relocation bracket will be more then enough... youll need longer shocks...
