Default Rock Krawler Lift Question

I've read nothing but good things about Rock Krawler lifts - great quality, customer service, etc. My questions is this, are they more of a "crawler" lift or can they be loaded for Overland/Expedition use?

Off topic, but that is great user name op. Welcome to the forum.

On topic, these kits seem amazing. Try finding a bad review from someone who owns one. More likely to find a recommendation. I personally like the three link setup they offer, only in my dreams. If the springs are heavy duty you could probably load the jeep to capacity and still be lifted

It seems that if a person wants to use their Jeep for anything other than rock crawling, many people think that AEV is the suspension to get - Expedition is in their name. However, the more I read about the Rock Krawler suspension, it sounds like it's a more stout suspension. I know I'll find myself going through the rocks from time to time, but I'll have the back end and the roof of my Jeep loaded with gear!

Where as like rough country. Is just a 3.5". Then when you add bumpers and winch and stuff, it will be less than 3.5. The 3.5" is only rated to the stock weight of the jeep.
Progressive only means that it has varied spring rates(light and heavy for smoother ride) in on one spring and I believe that only their 2.5" springs are progressive? The others may sit at 3.5" loaded down but that doesn't make it progressive.
