after the Cliff's trip i've been wanting to go with a 4 inch lift. but, Rusty's doesnt offer a complete 4 inch suspensionlift. They only offer a 3 inch suspension lift and a 1 inch body lift. Rough Country does offer a complete 4 inch suspension. Does a body lift really help at all or no?

Rusty's ALL THE WAY! This is a common discussion I have seen on forums hundreds of time. People go back and forth, but I have actually run both. Rough Country is decently priced but there components are not as good and the kits arent as complete. I hade a RC 3" + shackle and spacer on my '90 XJ and it was decent, but the 4.5" Rustys on my '99 sits much taller and is much stiffer.
As for the body lift, I would do a full suspesion rather than a part suspension part body. Only because you get more articulation while getting the same height. Your functionality is greater. Where a body lift helps is with clearance, like running larger tires. If you are trying to save $$ then I would do the 3" suspension and the 1" body.
All in my opinion,

the only breakage we had last time out at the cliffs was the Rustys track bar tie rod end. No use in getting a stronger trackbar if you end up useing the stock tie rod end? I got a Rubicon express kit on my cherokee. The joints on that are total beef. No breakage to report.
