Wasnt sure if JKS made a better track bar or not than RK. or if the RK LCAs were as good as some others.
Thats why i asked. The Stock mod or even flex system seems like the route to go and then add the rancho 9000.

I would go all teraflex. Best company to deal with customer service wise. Their products are top notch. I would pick up their 2.5" spring kit with either the shock spacers and do Monroe reflex shocks, or go with their shocks of some flavor. Add in their lower control arms for an extra 199 and you have a complete setup. Down the road you can add their trackbar up front. Its much stronger than the others you mention made out of tube metal. I don't like those style track bars.

Just go with the stock mod and add lcas if you want. No sense in piecing out the stuff that comes in RKs kit from another manufacturer. There's not really any differences in each of them. Simple, RK 2.5" coils, front track bar, rear track bar bracket, front disconnects, rear adjustable sway bar, and if you want, front lower control arms. Then add some 9000s and you're good to go. It's simple.

Yes now im looking at the RK flex kit so to get the LCAs, and then add rancho 9000.
Northridge has a package on website for 1,287.00 who do i contact about the forum discount? anything helps you know.
Proably gonna attempt to install kit on my own, then jsut get an alignment at 4wheelparts. Or is that not needed.

while I agree TF is a great company to deal with they are no better than Rock Krawler to deal with or Rancho for that matter. I have dealt with all 3 and all 3 have provided equal exceptional service. I am sure there are others ie metal cloak, Superlift, EVO and many more that do the same.

sounds like the RK coils are the way to go for me from all ive read.
Next ?
Is the JKS track bars (front, and rear) any better than doing just the RK front track bar and rear bracket?
Reason i ask, i can get the RK 2.5 stock mod and add the LCA, or I can get the RK 2.5 Coils, and go with JKS front and rear track bars (no need for rear bracket than i believe) and throw on some LCA and some bumpstops and end links.
Still want to go with the Rancho 9000 i think vs Bilstiens. I like the adjustability of the ranchos for street comfort.
Thoughts?

As mentioned prior the lower control arms are a good option. If you're set on the JKS trackbars you can purchase the front lower separate: RK02015. We have heard a lot of compliments on the Rancho's recently as well. Belstiens have always road great as well.

Thanks, Im actually going to go with the 2.5 Rock Krawler Flex kit so that I get the front lower control arms with it.
I think i will be snagging a set of rear links as well, since the kit only comes with the front disconnects.
I appreciate everyone's help and input on this and am stoked to get my jeep lifted.
