Default EVO Lever or RubiCrawler?

So if you were gonna bet the farm, which mod would you choose, the EVO Lever or RubiCrawler & why?

My Jeep is used for rock crawling almost exclusively. See signature for my Jeep's vitals.

And ya, I know there are a lot of variables involved in making the decision, but I can't think of, nor can I list of all of 'em here... likely you wouldn't want me to list 'em all even if I could... so have at it...

Evo lever. You'll only see the benefits of the Rubi crawler on the trail in low range. The evo lever will be great off road, but also improve the ride quality pretty good on the street, and flex like crazy.

I like the flexing part.

Not to mention significantly improve ground clearance under the axle since you won't have lower shock mounts out back anymore.

Ya, the adjustability of the coilovers also scores points since I can increase/decrease the lift height as desired.

How much more flex will the Evo lever get you without having long arms?

Guessing that the Evo with short arms won't get you alot more flex than you have now.
Also assuming that your not anticipating going with an aftermarket Tcase.

I think I'd go with the rubicrawler.

If u can only do one the crawler is way first in line imo. I have so many mods in my jeep and I am not even considering the evo. but then again the real steep stuff is not my favorite wheeling.
Thanks for the input guys! This is helpful as it is brings up many points I may not have considered when comparing the two.
