Default 3" Ultimate Suspension Lift

Well I just bought the first mod for my 2dr JK. I bought the Full Traction 3" Ultimate Suspension Lift from Northridge 4x4. They just called me to let me know that they dont have it in stock but they'll be getting it and shipping it out to me next week. Now its time to buy wheels and some 35's! I'll post pictures as soon as I get everything together!

What does the "ultimate kit" include. Uppers and lowers?? Track bars?? What is the MSRP of that kit?

Can someone explain the me the advantages of the control arms? For $1700 you get the ultimate suspension, but for $500 you get a 3" lift without the control arms. What are the ups and downs to justify that cost? I live in Virginia, so Heavy Duty Rockcrawling is not very important to me. I'm more interested in Mud, Sand, and the occasional trip up to Paragon.

Mostly increased flex. More heavy duty control arms are always a plus, when you put a lift on a Jeep you don't want parts breaking, everything should be more heavy-duty than stock. Just think about what the control arms are used for...

So what happens to the factory warranty if I install a lift... considering the purchase of 4D JK Rubicon.
