4-Rubi has better factory shocks and springs
5-Rubi comes with the BFGs At 33, Sahara Bridgestone AT 32 with 18" wheels.
Now depending on what you plan on doing with it. Should dictate what you should by. If you plan on doing a lot of hardcore wheeling. Buying an X with the S package would be the route I would go if I had to do it all over again. Then I would take all the saved money and build it up.
If your not going to wheel too hard then maybe getting a Rubi, and adding BB, and bigger tires and DS should be more then enough.
