Im not too familiar with Jeeps, but im pretty sure Rubicon Express is one of the better names.

Hey brand new here, but not to Jeeps. I have a '97 Wrangler with a 4" lift and Mickey Thompson wheels and tires. I went from not caring if you scratched the paint on a tree to wanting to fix it.
For a lift for your truck I would check out Quadratec.com, RustyOffroad.com, 4Wheelparts.com, and Northridge4x4.com. You can definitely find a new lift for your truck from one of those websites.
Also check out JeepForum.com and do a bit of research to figure out what would suit you the best.

Also be aware that lifting a truck (of any make) causes a waterfall effect. It changes the geometry of the steering, the ride will change, driveline angles change, fuel mileage will decrease quite a bit, braking becomes more challenging, etc. Fixing all that is doable, but VERY expensive in most cases. So just be prepared. I'd estimate fixing all the issues will be 3-5 times more expensive than getting the lift itself.

Very very very true. My lift kit by itself cost $700.00 end all it turned out to be just a hair under $3000.00 very expensive hobby, but completely worth it in my opinion.

Although I don't drive my lifted SUV much anymore (5" spring lift), I enjoyed it a lot for a long time. I'll put it back into limited use this fall, but just wanted the OP to be aware that lifting a truck isn't just a quick buy of a kit and you're done. At the very least, on a spring lift, you'll probably have to adjust front driveshaft and steering angles. On a big lift, there's a lot more to consider. On a body lift, there's shifter lengths, and all kinds of fun to deal with. But the geometry of the driveline and steering don't change, so that's an advantage.
Really does depend on why the lift is desired.
