Default Ordering lift today still need help

Alright guys, today is the day. I am ordering the lift today and am still stuck and really need the help. Both kits I will most likely run 5100's. RE 3.5 standard or RK 3.5 mid arm flex. Which lift do u believe is better for the road and quality. And do any of u have any complaints with either. The RE is about $300 bucks cheaper but doesn't include rear control arms. What should I do and I need to know sooon!!

well, what i can tell you is that RK is on the forum and if you were ever to need their assistance, they would be able to help you out. also, while you may not need to get a new rear drive shaft just yet, when you do, you will need adjustable rear upper control arms to set your pinion angle. needless to say, it might be worth spending the extra $300 now and be done with it.

Well it's a done deal guys, I settled on the Rock Krawler 3.5" mid arm flex, and I can't wait to pit it on. It should be here next well. RK 3.5 and 5100 shocks. David at Northridge gave me a good deal and was easy to order with and made me comfortable with my decision, thanks David

I actually threw around different lifts going back and forth between RK, teraflex, RE, superlift/black diamond and many others but after weeks of looking and reading on this forum I took lots into consideration and popped on the RK for the price and good results people have with it. I just ordered it yesterday and already am satisfied with my decision. RK and Northridge 4x4 all the way!!!!
