From what I have seen the Nth offers the most clearance. I can't recall if it requires a BL or not, haha. That info could of course be found on their site. If your looking to do any kind of belly up you will PROBABLY need to do at least a MML, unless your running an LJ, they are less prone to vibrate due to the longer DS. What is your objection to a BL and MML? Perhaps appearance in regards to the BL? I have a 1" MORE BL and it really isn't noticable, at least IMHO. Why are you opposed to doing a MML? The only thing I could think of is fear of doing the install? It really isn't hard at all, don't worry about it. If you have a newer Jeep I would go with a JKS budget MML that is nothing more then some metal blocks (spacers) and longer fastening hardware.

1.) Nth does not require a BL or MML, see pics above.
2.) It gives the most ground clearance at about 3" gained in the middle.
3.) For most of the tummy tucks, Nth included, you CANNOT do a MML without a BL and use the tuck. The tuck smashed everything up into the tub so far that a MML would be worse and surely contact the tub. As of now I have less than 1/4" to 1/2" (maybe a bit more, but it doesn't seem like it).
4.) A BL/MML is a fine option for making these work, however I just don't like them. I know it's stupid, because they are a great way to make tires fit better, easy way to achieve upward travel without contact, and gives more room for those tummy tucks, but I just don't like them.
5.) If you are already lifted 2-3 inches, and you are contemplating a SYE (I'm not as I have the NP 241) get ready, becuase you will likely need one now as those tucks really change the angles up there. I have a 1" spacer lift and the Nth TT and there is no way I could squeeze another inch of lift in there without needing a new driveshaft.
Good Luck.
