Really?
Did you even read the OP or just the title? He asked between the 3.5" flex and the 2.5" max travel because the two were the same price, not any mid(short) arm system. He didn't ask for any photos either. The op asked specific questions about suspension travel and if any other components would be needed.
What exactly did you answer with your response?

I respect thedirtman. It does getting tiring and very boring having folks respond , not to the OP, but to what they run, and also how they "love it, rides better than stock, perfect for..."

Do you have a 2 or 4 door. Because RK coils are rated for a 4 door. 2.5" for the 2 door and 3.5@ for the 4 door.

More arms the better. All 8 allows wheelbase/caster and pinion angles
I have a JKUR

Also what else will I need to properly complete the lift? With exception of shocks obviously.
To answer your question those two kits have the same components, just different coils and sway bar links. The length you set the arms and track bars to differs as well per lift height. The shock length and bump stops are the only thing that would be potentially different as far as flex goes. When removing a set of factory control arms and replacing them with a set of aftermarket arms such as ours will significantly reduce the bind in the suspension and result in a more freely moving suspension allowing you to utilize more shock length (flex more). Both those kits include pretty much everything you need at that lift height with those components other then shocks and bump stops.
