RK all the way my friend!

- heavy duty full steel arms
- extreme flex joints
- life time abuse proof waranty!

You just cant break a RK arm, i love my kit.

Let me add to this as well with saying Rock Krawler. Couldn't ask for a better ride on and off-road with the kit. The flex is also ridiculous!

Ive got the RK Max travel kit and i'm super happy with it. Excellent quality and lifetime warranty. Rides great on the road and super flexy offroad. You can't go wrong with RK.

Another RK fan here. I've been very happy with mine so far. I have heard good things about FT from people here. Do they offer progressive rate coils? Either way, I'd say your on the right path.

I'll throw in for FT here. I can say I've seen both company's components and rode in rigs with lifts from both and they are very comparable. Either way you can't go wrong, I went with FT and couldn't be happier.

I also run bilstien shocks, which are the perfect shock for the HD springs, IMO.

Don't have any flexing photos tho
