one of these. i know that they are a bit more but they are a lot more complete and from pretty good names, even zone gets good ratings.

the rc and zone would both do good with an adjustable trac bar. the iro doesnt have control arms but they are not necessary at that height. RC has adjustable control arms which is pretty nice. im really wanting the rc right now, but the iro is a bit cheaper. you can also look on local sites for used lifts.
