Default Rock Krawler Suspension - Anyone have one?

I'm looking at two different suspension kits for my unlimited jk.
I was going to buy the Clayton 3.5 Kit, but I found the Rock Krawler System for 1k less and can later be upgraded. I could sure use the 1k to help purchase my new wheels.
Is the Rock Krawler a good system or should a stay with Clayton?

I have RockKrawler steering components on my ride and they are BEEF. If the lifts are the same quality you will be a happy Jeeper. I say that the upgradeable RK sounds like a plan.

Man I did probally like 2 months of nothing but research before I chose my RK kit. I went with the 3.5 Mid Arm X factor kit. Having all the adj control arms and the 2 adj tac bars is the way too go. The arms are crazy big same as the ones on my F350! And the fact that you can go up later and add coilovers is a huge plus. Customer service is great too! I got mine for a great price too.

I have the RK mid arm and cant say enough good things about it. Ya it is super beefy and heavy duty. I have the lower front and rear arms and it rides great with the 37's. Go for the RK you will not regret it.

Im running the RockKrawler 3.5" mid arm. Awesome setup. Like others have said their components are super beefy and everything set up nicely. I would highly reccomend their lifts.

The only other items I bought to go with their kit
1. Bilsteen shocks
2. JKS rear adj trac bar (it comes with the front)
3. Extended brake lines for the rear (it comes with the fronts)
4. Bumpstop extentions for the front and rear
