THey are designed to work together and do a GREAT job!

Either ones are great, the main thing about the TF front lowers that you would gain is clearance. TF's front lowers bend in so if you ever go to a 37x13.5 tire and want to avoid your tires sticking out a ton, you not rub the control arms. the RK front lowers don't and it can cause rub.
Correct, they bend up, my apologies to iadventure I misread his post earlier as I was in a hurry.

RK's bend up instead of in giving you the same amount of turning clearance, but more ground clearance.....

I am not sure on the LA, but the SA does not bend in.

TF bend UP and IN so you get ground clearance and wheel clearance.

Idk it's hard to tell, have you seen them in person? Not trying to argue or disagree I'm genuinely curious. For the op, I think the bigger issue is do you want to go 3 link or the back or not.

you'll gain the needed ground clearance sliding on the arms. You wont hurt them...

Well, when you start with "Uhhh, Incorrect" with a contradicting photo attached, it does sound pretty argumentative wouldn't you agree? My objective is not to be "right" just to help others with the things I have learn through my build.

For your curiosity and for the Original Poster:
I have personally installed this kit and wheel with that friend ALOT. we rag on each other all the time about our lifts just for fun(his RK 3.5, mine TF 4).
That said, they both perform VERY well on and off road. I have not noticed MORE flex on his three link system as both of our jeeps are outfitted with the correct shocks and dialed in bumpstops.

I do think that that front lowers by RK are a performance issue IF you are going with a wide large tire which most with that kit usually do. I think I am actually going to send this over to them as a point of constructive criticism. Who knows, maybe they will change them?

That photo is pretty crappy. The way that the rubber end of those arms sits it is very difficult to tell how it bends.
