I got the 3.5" Metal Cloak Game Changer Lite kit which wasn't much more than the RK after you add the price of good shocks in. The OME shocks are great and it rides and handles excellent. I highly recommend it.

Another vote for RK. I have the 2.5" max travel and 35's. Wish I had gotten a 3.5" because I had a lot of rubbing when I moved from 33" to 35". I just got flat fenders installed today and hacked the ends of the factory bumper, so that will solve my rubbing problems.

If road manners are so important why go that tall? 3" with flats is plenty for 37's. The road manners will depend a lot on tires too. 35's on 15" rims will give more, great on the trail, bad on the highway.

I'd go with the Metalcloak with OME shocks. Mine is on order hoping it will be here this week. I was between that and the EVO Enforcer. I chose MC bc it's a complete kit with all new arms and track bars. Either kit you should be happy if those are in your price range.

Also check out BDS suspensions. I have the 4.5" and it drives and flexes awesome. They have a 3.5" one that is about half the money of the 4.5" that I chose.
