I agree with most here to go Metal Cloak over Rock Krawler. RK gets a lot of hype from a few people that really push them to justify their purchase of their products but in fact RK has ha a pretty poor track record over time compared to just about every other lift kit manufacturers out there.
Well I sent an email to teraflex asking if there 30 spline ful float conversion was stronger than the 35 spline semi float shafts I eventually went with.
Teraflex replied with an argument could be made for either option.... ?

Ordered a set of poison spyder crusher fenders. Along with a set of maxxis 37'' creepy crawlers.
So at this point my set up is as follows....

2.5" teraflex bb
1.25" rough country body lift
Synergy lower front arms
Teraflex front monster track bar
Yeti drag link
Poison Spyder crusher fenders
Rugged ridge stubby front bumper
Smittybilt x20 winch
Smittybilt xrc rocker sliders
Teraflex rear tire carrier
Rancho oil pan skid plate
Bilstien 5100 shocks
AEV snorkel with bobs kit to tie in all the breather lines

For the drive train......
Factory 4.10 gears
Rear ARB locker
Rear 35 spline ten factory shafts
Front c gussets
Front lower arm skid plates
Front synergy ball joints
EBC yellow stuff brake pads


At this point I want to run the jeep a little and see where I need to focus the most attention regarding the bigger tires. My guess is the front axle will be first to be replaced with a pro rock 44. Then going with 5.13 gears at the same time.

St that point I should have pretty capable jeep

Looks like a decent build. Unless you are heavy on the skinny pedal the front D44 will last longer than you think.

I'd hold off on installing that locker and axle shafts until you regear. No sense in spending money twice
