RE Lift questions for an LJ

a few questions about the RE Suspension kits for my LJ. I am shooting for 33s

What makes the 3.5 superflex kit worth the $300 more than the Standard kit? Is it because it comes with the Adjustable track bars?

What are the advantages of the Adjustable trackbars? I am on somewhat of a budget, would the RE Standard Kit still be a good kit without the Adjustable track bars? Then I could add those later?

Also I have heard that the OME shocks give a better ride. What is your opinion on that?

This is still my DD so I don't want the ride to change too much....

Looks to me like the difference is lower control arms with superflex joints and the front swaybar disconnects, and IMO those arms are worth having. Adjustable track bars can be avoided with relocation brackets.

The standard kit is a ok kit, but its very limited. The upgrade to the SuperFlex allows more preset adjustment and axle flex. By added adjustable track bars front and rear: you can center the axles properly. Also adding a set of adjustable control arms, the front caster angle and rear pinion angles can be adjusted. On my suspension, I opted for the 4.5 SF kit with upgrades for adjustable track bars and control arms, and subsutited the springs to 3.5"

I've installed a number of these lifts and I can tell you its well worth the upgrade if you can afford the extra $$.
