if lift is the advice, what would be the advantage of the RK 3.5 X Factor over the Mid arm flex with Bilstein 5100's?

Compare the suspension components from one to the other... Off the top of my head, i think one system comes with front lowers and rear lowers as the other comes with 8 control arms. The more suspension components the betyer

Personally, I would save for the lift and tires and do them at the same time.
