Rough Country. I would also shop around, I found mine from Fat Bobs Garage out of Utah. At the time he was the cheapest and shipping was free for standard ground.

Rubicon Express all the way. They are pricey but the parts are high quality. I run a 3.5" super flex lift kit and I netted about 4-4.5".

RC was stiff for about the first 6 months, then got much softer. But I have had that with just about every lift I have installed.
Personal opinion, I don't like Rustys stuff. The few stuff that I have bought or others locally have put on has not performed well.

I run a Rusty's 4.5" on mine, and couldn't be happier. Yes, RE is better, but I trail mine with all the big boys and do just fine. I recently added a 2" boost so I'm up over six inches now, but 4.5" WILL get you where you want to go. Trim a tad, slap on 33s and go for it.
