Default best quality lift kits for 2012 1500 4x4

Hi. I've owned my 2012 for about 18 months and am ready to install a good quality lift kit. There are so many brands and types I can't decipher which is
best for the truck. I want to do it right and not cause any damage to the ride, suspension and handling. Before I owned this truck I had a 2001 1500 5.9L
and it was the best truck I ever owned. I did a lot of upgrades for performance but never got into the suspension. Any suggestions or experiences you
could share?
Thanks

How much lift do you want? What size tires do you want to run?

Adding a lift WILL change the driving dynamics of the truck, and not for the better. Same for the ride.

Default Lifts show or go

If you want to go cheap n not agressive off-road do a lift/ leveling kit. They can get 2-2 1/2" in front and same in back. Probably want to do upper control arms to make sure you don't stress ball joints due to angle of extra travel. (I'm running 35" tires w/2 1/2 front 1 1/2 rear). If you go 4+ black mountain has good reviews and extensive testing and design. And no iI don't rep for them. Just know people that have them and they love the looks and ride.
