I was in the same boat as you trying to decide and i ended up going with rock krawler as i thought i got a more complete kit for a better price. Call them up they will probably knock 10% off there listed price. I got the 3.5 x factor plus kit. Came with all 8 control arms, front and rear trac bars, springs, brake line ext, rear tract bar bracket, front spring retainers, rear shock wedges. It wheels great, flexes great, no onroad issues, plenty of room for 35's and customer service is very good and friendly! Kit doesnt come with shocks so i got the billstein BE5-E174-HO and BE5-E671-HO.

I'm getting the same kit come tax return time. Sound like a nice complete system for the $$$. Plus their shop is only 5 minutes from my house.

You will be happy with the third link set up. Since the axle is shifted back one inch i didnt have to cut the rock sliders or the pinch seam to allow larger tires. however i did have to cut my rstock rear bumper near were the stock bumper meets the stock rear flares as the tires were stuffing right into that part of the bumper. Thankfully i am replacing my stock rear bumper with the lod rear shorty that doesnt wrap all the way around to the flares.

Cool guys...Im thinkin Rock Krawler more because I eventually want to do the wheelbase stretch some time next year....I love my TF 2.5 coil kit, very happy but my jeep is goin to be a trail rig only soon and I want a crazy kit, nothin to big but a good flexible kit. Not to knock TF at all but I think the RK kit is a lil more extreme.

the third picture is of the rear shock relocation bracket that rk gives you that raises the rear shock mount 2". also in the picture is that evo rear skid. if i had to do it over again i would of cut off some an inch or two of the left over junk that is hanging down and then welded on the evo rear skid.
