Flip a coin, can't go wrong with either. And you can upgrade from SM to MT.

I went with Rock Krawler. Their progressive rate front springs handle heavier front bumpers and winches well. You can upgrade with the other components they offer. I'm running the stock mod w Bilsteins 5100's. I've added RK front LCA's already. Got my castor dialed back in and drives great now. Real happy with my setup. The RK stock mod lift comes with an adjustable front track bar to recenter your front axle which is nice. The RK lift does NOT come w bump stops. You'll need to purchace these seprately.

hu? really?

i just check in rk website. and i found bump stop and they have three different that is depends on height. 1' 2' 3.

so if i choose 2' bump stop, that mean 2.5' lift kits will be 4.5 ? or what is different?

That is a really good deal. Hopefully it's not a typo on the company's site because all other vendors have that kit for sale around $500-$600 price range...

That's what I was thinking. They aren't to far away from me. I'm going to to call and then go up there. I'll post on here afterwards.

If you shop around you can also find the TF kit with the Bilsteins a lot cheaper. I paid a little under 800 for the kit a few months ago and I personally couldn't be happier with the setup.

I ordered the T.F. Kit last week from Northridge4x4. I was originally going to get the Rock Krawler 2.5 flex system but the shipping price for being stationed overseas pushed it over the price limit set by my wife. I decided to go with the stock mod system so I called David at northridge back to place my order. Long story short Dave talked me into the 2.5 TF with Bilsteins. He said that TF and RK get their springs from the same place and that the TF kit is more complete... I would of liked to had the adjustable track bar but everything is upgradable so this will come soon.. Still waiting on it to arrive in the mail.. I'll repost after I get it installed.
