Default Currie 4" lift with all the arms ? Or RockKrawler max travel 3.5 kit ?

New to jeeps I just picked up a 2010 JKU and i am starting to build it up ,,, going to be running 37's , setting it up correct for the 37's The only thing I'm having a hard time on is deciding to get the Currie 4" , lift with all flex arms ? Or the RockKrawler max travel 3.5 lift ? Or should I peice a kit together ? I hear both are great kits but currie is way closer to me !

Is it a Rubi? If not I would plan on a D44 swap. Rock Krawler is what I would take

No not a rubi , and I'm looking for a Straight D44 that I can beef up and build up for the front , it's a tuff decision , the RockKrawler kit is more complete with steering flip kit and track bars ,,,
But Currie uses joints on all ends of their arms and is somewhat local for me ,, pluses and negatives of both just need to keep getting helpful info / input / negatives and positives of both kits ,,, thank you

Currie is a bit of a hike...5 hour drive from you. JJs are considered by many to be the best but you're unlikely to exceed the limits of RK joints. Go with RK if its more complete and you'll be very happy. However, as was said, running 37s on a D30 is usually ill advised. Add a beefed D44 at the same time or wait til you can...or consider a compromise somewhere in between.

I have the RK 3.5 Max Travel kit on mine with 37's. Definitely a good decission. I do not have any personal experience with the Currie kit but I can tell you that the joints they use are pretty much the high water mark in the industry and I have seen the kit in person and it appears to be very well made. So I think either way you go you will be happy.
