You guys are wasting your breath (or your fingers while typing). This is the guy that had a 6" lift on his Durango. He's stuck on having a huge lift on the JK, even though everyone is telling him it's not like his old vehicle and he doesn't need that much lift to fit the tires he's looking at. He also stated it will never be taken off-road, so there isn't really a need for a full long arm setup. And he wants to do it on the cheap. Soooo, yeah...

okay man i know its not the same truck. i like the look of the 6 inch on the jk better then the 4inch lift. and i dont want the cheapest stuff that has nothing to do with it. but yea i will not go rock crawling so i think the long arm is wasting money cause i dont need massive flex. im just looking at all options before i get something. so there is no need to be an a**

Anyway, go back and browse through the FAQ again. Lots of good info there to steer you in the right direction.
Driveshafts - this was answered in your last thread, and it's in the FAQ. It has to do with lift height, not the name of the company. Set money aside for new shafts with 'any' of the lifts you are looking at.
When you are comparing non-complete lift kits, think about all of the components included, then consider what else you'll have to buy to 'fix' it.
As an example, the RC kit has all fixed arms, so if it drives like crap, how exactly are you going to adjust your caster? Add Cams, maybe? Toss the arms and buy adjustables?
Fixed trackbar and bracket. If the axles are offcenter after the lift, you can't just crank the bar in or out a few turns, so what will your 'fix' be. It doesn't come with bumpstops. Will you need them? etc...
Lots of people here are fond of the 'you get what you pay for' saying. You have been given good advice on well thought out kits. Look at the components in those kits, compare them to cheapest kit that will get you up 6", and then decide which way to go.
