I am looking to add a 3.5 inch lift kit and springs. I drive mostly on the road. What is a good quality kit that will last. Thank you.

You can check with Clayton Offroad they are a Forum sponsor. When you get that high of a lift make sure it has adjustable control arms and track bars or you'll never get your alignment correct. Also I think you may need a new front driveshaft with that lift.
Also most of us don't really believe someone has a JK unless you post a picture of it, we need our picture Porn.

I have an AEV 3.5" DualSport lift on mine and love it.
However, this was before I even knew about @Clayton Off Road. I would certainly give them a look as they make good stuff.
Another option is MetalCloak, though I'm honestly not that fond of them. There's plenty others too, I'm just listing some of the better ones.

Our Overland Plus kit is our most popular option for those looking for a daily driver/weekend warrior style build! The kit uses Giiro joints at each end of each control arm which are 100% maintenance-free, self-centering bushings that help to soak up road noise and vibrations for smooth and comfortable on-road driving, and provide all of the flex and misalignment needed if you do ever want to take it off-road! This is one of our complete suspension systems meaning it comes with a full set of 8 new adjustable control arms. If you're looking for something a little bit more entry-level and just something for on-road use only, our Ride Right suspension systems are basically just a stripped-down version of the Overland kit, as it includes only the necessities to lift your vehicle properly while maintaining excellent on-road driving characteristics. Happy to talk further if you have any questions at all! - James

They are 315/70R/17 or 35 x 12.50 If you zoom in on the pic you should be able to see all of the tire info

JKS and AEV are both extremely popular where I live and seem to be fine with wet environments and high milage If you are spending most of your time on the road I would reccomend getting something with the drag link flip, rubber bushings on your arms, welding the reinforcement bracket on and getting either geometry correction brackets or longer lower arms in place of adjustable arms. Those four things will save you a lot of headaches in a few years.
