Default WJ lift question

I want to lift my 03 WJ with something other than the Daystar 2" that I did about a year and a half ago. My research has led me to believe that just about any kit I use will lead to "death wobble" but having seen so many already lifted it seems completely possible.

I have only been shopping the 3 to 4 inch kits. I was going to remove the pucks from the BB as well. Plan was to add a dual steering stabilizer as well.

So my question is, who makes the best manufactured kit for this? I had been looking at the Rough Country kit while in Afghanistan but recently saw the Iron rock kit. Shopped some of the kits from Kevin's off road and noticed a trend with replacement control arms.

Any advice will help thanks in advance.

3" vs. 4" all depends on what else you want to replace. At 4" you're going to want to make sure you have a double carden driveshaft, adjustable control arms and extended sway bar links. Not to mention making sure all your steering components are in good condition. Take the price of a 4" lift and double it. That may be what you're actually looking at spending. And make sure you actually want to stick to the height you're wanting now. Some people spend money on a smaller lift, then decide they want to go bigger and end of having to spend a lot more money to get it to 6". If you want to go any bigger than 4" I wood say wait and saw your money and do it right the first time. OME makes the best 3" kit out there. That's what I started out with for a couple years. I've since upgraded to a 6" long arm kit. RC has made huge improvements to their kits and customer service. Their x-series is a good kit. IRO has a great kit too. Everybody has their preferences. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the response. I did look at the OME parts as well. Going to look closer at the 6.5 IRO. Might add some brake lines and what not to the kit. Also going to take a look at the drive shaft.
