General questions about RE kits...
Okay, after looking at a billion lifted Cherokee pictures, I've decided that I really like the look of 3.5" of lift. I've decided on the RE 3.5" kit. The problem I have is deciding between the Super Flex and Super Ride kits.
I've never been off roading, and it seems that right now I am more interested in the cosmetic look of a lifted Cherokee. This, however, doesn't mean I won't someday wish to off road, so these kits are upgradeable right? (Coil spacers, Leaf blocks.. SYE, Driveshaft etc.)
From what I can see, the only difference between the two kits are the quick disconnects. Do I need the flex kit? It is $200 more! Do I need shims or TC drop? Do these kits include EVERYTHING I need?
Thank you!

the superflex kit runs a flex joint at the frame end of the lower control arms like this:
this allows the suspension to articulate (flex) more. being as you are more interested in the look and on-road ability of the jeep i would get the super ride kit. it has rubber bushings at both ends so it will ride a bit smoother as well.
the kits come with everything you need EXCEPT shocks, you will need them for this lift kit
