Default xj 4.5 inch lift kit help?

Ive been In the market for a 4.5in lift kit for my xj but just cant decide wich one? Im looking for whats best, affordable, and comfortable ride on the road. I know once lifting a truck, comfortable ride becomes more rough but some lifts still provide somewhat of a comfortable ride. I mainly use my jeep on the city and on the highway but still need clearance for my offroad trips, im always slaming my t-case everywhere... Any recomendations on 4.5in lifts for my 01 xj that i can still have a comfortable ride on and good street/highway stability without being too rough and bouncy on the road and feel like im gunna flip when i make a turn?

Any quality long arm kit. Also, a lift is not considered oem tech.

I have found that if you want ride quality, you gotta get good shocks. Bilstien 5100s or fox or something that's gonna cost $$. You're not gonna have a good lifted ride without dropping some dough.
