Get the best you can afford. But I can only recommend you get a suspension kit that's tailor made to the Jimmy. Like OME, trail master, tough dog etc.
Perhaps save up a bit more money so you can afford one of these kits

I would go for the trailmaster kit have you looked in the big jimny shop it's a good price there
I have a 3" kit it feels good on the road and handles the bends and bumps really well, but I haven't been off road at the moment so can't comment on the off road ability will be putting them through there paces soon

:laugh:
After a while you'll suss your best settings and stop fiddling
Mine are now set at front 10 / rear 11 which gives me a good road cornering / ride quality - for std weight jimny with mostly just me in.
Dave runs AVO's and I don't think there's anyone on here that does as many muddy offroad miles in a heavy weight truck, so see what he thinks
However, trailmaster = fit and forget, with the AVO's its wise to keep rotating the dials to keep them free every month or two, but it's not a major hassle.

AVO lift also looks good, but concerned a bit that I wouldn't stopped fiddling with shocks or they'd get jammed up in mud.

Havent tried them offroad yet,
Last time offroad the smoke and smell from my clutch reminded me I couldnt risk treating my daily driver this way.
For green lanes, definitely drop the settings down ie 7/8 for softer less harsh ride
Not sure about serious offroad though as you may bottom out if too soft, maybe should go for harder settings.
Defo need input from Dave on this one.
