To be perfectly honest I could never notice any obvious performance difference from watching them on the trail between the $100 lift and the $1,000 long-arm lifts. This were all rather mild rigs (33's, stock axles with lockers).
This is the basic setup I had on my Rubicon and I never had any problems wheeling it. I had a budget boost and honest to God, it had hockey pucks for a body lift. I was running 33s and had lockers.

That brings up another point. I would invest in a locker before I spent money on a lift. Getting rid of the one wheel peel will do wonders. Oh, and before you ask, there are so many different lockers out there that it's really difficult to pick the best one. It all depends on budget, application, etc.
