Here's what I put together: I calculated everything I would need (steering stabilizers, shocks, shipping etc..) for each lift and added the totals.

-RE 3.5" SuperRide: 694.96 (with Pro Comp ES9000 shocks - ARE THESE BETTER THAN RC's NITRO)
-RC 3" basic - 604.85 (but reuses almost everything!)
-RC 3" better - 708.85
-RC 4.5" basic - 779.85
-Iron Rock - 575.98 (w/ nitro shocks and ALL/shackles)

So I crossed out the better RC 3" and RC 4.5", so I am left with:
-RE 3.5"
-RC 3" basic
-Iron Rock

Help a bro out please! The 4wheelparts.com sale ends soon. I really need help deciding on shocks if I go with 3.5". Also, for the basic RC 3", I would need to get sway bar endlinks and discos and control arms if I were to ever add height, right?
My vote is u get the RE 3.5 superflex for 635 at 4wd and then get doeshtech shocks, they run about 95 a pair so another 190 but theyre a really nice ride my buddy has them , pretty smooth so itd be more expensive but i believe worth the money at 825 plus the shipping for the shocks, shouldnt be more than 10 bucks. Keep in mind u can have the nicest lift in the world but if u have crappy shocks itll ride rough and not to your liking.

With many thanks to Frank @ SeriousOffroad, I have just bought my lift kit! I got a 3.5" RE SuperRide Lift kit, the correct u-bolts for a Chrysler 8.25 axle, 2" RE front bump stops, a RE adjustable front track bar, and 4 Bilstein 5100 shocks!

Too hype! Thanks again everyone and big thanks to Frank @ SeriousOffroad! I really appreciate it!
