Default OME long travel VS RK X factor 3.5

Ok, i keep going back and forth between these 2 lift kits. The OME long travel kit for my 11 unlimited rubicon. Or the Rock Krawler 3.5" x factor lift. The RK is about $500 more after getting the bilstein 5100's. But thats not really what im concerned about if in fact the RK is indeed that much better. Which is my question i guess: Is the RK THAT much better than the OME lift? Or at all even? I know the RK comes with all 8 control arms which are heavy duty. But i dont see myself doing a bunch of hardcore rock crawling being that im in missouri. So would i really need all of them ? Probably not, but its nice to know that if i did decide to take it somewhere id be set. So just wanting some different opinions from people with both lifts. And if i should consider any other things that i might not have mentioned. Thanks in advance

Both are great kit and both ride better than stock. The only thing is that the Rock Krawler lift kit flex much better than the OME LT lift kit and come with 8 heavy duty arms. Plus, Rock Krawler offer life time abuseprood warranty.

I have that kit and no regrets.

Everything you need is in that kit, and yes, that lift ride 3x better than stock.

They are both awesome kits that is for sure.

But the RK kit will not flexany better than the OME LT kit. If anything they probably flex the same.
