Ok I know there is alot of lift topics on here but I think I narrowed it down to two Rubicon Express 3.5 super flex or Rock Krawler 3.5 mid arm flex. If you could choose one witch one and why, pros vs cons

 

I'd go RK but I'm a little biased as I run their 2.5" xfactor. I like the ride. Control arms are good quality. Why 3.5" though?

 

What was the reasoning for narrowing it to those two?

 

No reason other than looks and some day may put 37" on it.

 

Availability, price is close, I will be installing it my self and just looking for a good lift hoping to stay under $5000 for lift,gears, DS,

 

Haven't seen a lot of feedback on RE lifts here, but lots of people running RK. Their new triple rate coils are getting good reviews.

(assuming that I am looking at the right lifts...)

The plus for the RE lift would be that it comes with four sets of arms. The minus is that the lower arms are fixed.

The RK lift comes with just two sets of arms, (you can set the caster/pinion, just can't move the axles), but should be better coils.

Neither comes with steering correction. Wait to drive it and see what you think, but research the high steer/flip options in the mean time.

 

Thanks for the info. It looks like the RK X factor is only $200 more than the RE and comes with lower adjustable arms

 

What about the new rough country x lift? It's a 4in kit, I have heard really great things on it.

Ok so you are planning on upgrading driveshaft.

 

Metalcloak game changer light is a better lift than all those, especially the POS RE lift, for around the same money.
