Default Another noobe question

Ok, I haven't made up my mind between tf 3" or rk 3.5"lift for a 12 jk 4door. But while trying to learn more about the jk's by searching this forum I've seen a : drop link flip kit and b: a steering stabilizer.

Will I need either of these with the lift to make it safe and reliable. My jeep is on order and the lift is being installed by the dealer and I just want to make sure I know everything i need because when the jeep gets updated to ship status I have to go in and tell them what lift, shocks, wheels and tires I want as well as anything that needs to included in the lift. Thanks in advance for any help.

The rk x short arm lift comes with everthing except shocks and steering stabilizer.
The tf kit doesn't come with front trac bar, upper/ lower adjustable trac arms or steering stabilizer.

I bought the TF 3" lift the one that came with 4 flex arms, quick disconnects, shocks, coils etc so my kit was probably the next one up, I added the upgraded trac bar and stabilizer kit. 1 yr and it's been great.

Just installed the 3.5" rock krawler triple threat longarm kit. No pitman arm drop or draglink flip needed. The adjustable front track bar made everything line up nice. great kit, rides better than the stock suspension. Now just waiting on tires and wheels...lol

I went ahead and put in a set of pro comp spicer 1310 driveshafts while it was apart. So I dont know if there would be clearance issues or angle issues with the old stock large diameter DS.
