I've personally only installed Teraflex lifts, 3 on my Jeeps and 1 on my best friends.
Two of those were the 2.5", one on 34s and one on 35s. We used Rancho control arm relocation brackets on both, 5000XL shocks on one and 9000 on the other. Ride was terrific. On road manors were good. Off road was OK, slightly better than stock.
My only experience with rough country is pulling it off a friends Jeep piece by piece as the springs and shocks failed. All within a couple of years after installation. The control arms on his Jeep are still OK, but I think we've replaced everything else. As installed it definitely lived up to the name "rough" country
All that said, I believe with suspension kits you usually get what you pay for, and personally I'm willing to pay that price for the improved handling on & off road. Our last Jeep ('18 JK) we installed the Teraflex Alpine CT3 with the Falcon 3.3 shocks. It's a 3" lift that will accommodate a 33"-35" with the factory fenders, and a 37" with flat fenders. The Falcon shocks are the best I've run on any of our Jeeps.
