Default rock krawler 3.5 entry level vs. rubicon exp 3.5 standard lift

hey guys im shopping around now to order a lift this week for my 08 unlimited and im just trying to find some more info on the rock krawler entry level 3.5 and the rubicon exp standard 3.5 lift kits and the overall quality and ride, etc. and ive been told i should be fine with the unlimited in regards with the driveline at that height. Or is there Anything else i need to change to run one of these kits.so any input would be great. Ive searched but havent found eveyrthing i was looking for. also i plan on running 33.12.5r17s with the 3.5in so if anyone has pics of that setup like that i would appreciate it, to see how it looks to make sure its not gonna look goofy that high on the 33's...thanks alot!

They are the same aren't they? With the exception of cam bolts? I bought the rock krawler 3.5 entry a few months ago, pretty happy with it. You don't want cam bolts by the way.....

just re-read the post more carefully and noticed the "entry level" note

yes, they should be the same and no, you don't want cam bolts

For another 400 you can get the rk mid arm flex 3.5. You get front and rear lower arms and brake line etc.. That's what I'm going with soon.
