I get your point and its a good one, maybe later down the road when it gets heavier, but im all stock for now and its my first jk, just trying to make it as good as i can.

The RK won't sag. My tf coils did. Right now I have the same amount of uptravel with a 1.75" bumpstop plus the factory one as I did with the tf coils with only the factory bumpstop and I still have the same bumper and winch on too
The rk coils are progressive rate meaning the last few coils on the top are wound tighter/closer and this prevents the coils from sagging from heavy bumpers or winches. Plus when I removed my tf coils and compared them to the rk's, the rk's sit about an inch taller

Your welcome, I like my tf kit that I originally bought but after swapping the spring to rk springs the ride on and offroad is so much better. If I could do I again I would get the rk max travel kit
