Default 2001 XJ lift kit questions

Recently purchased a 2001 Cherokee classic and want to install a lift kit. I've installed a rough country lift on a few of my previous jeeps and have had no major issues. I was thinking of going with this kit
http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-xj-...kit-laxj6.html

Opinions or concerns with this kit, also this is the first long arm kit my previous lifts were not long arm kits is there anything I need to be aware of?

no slip yoke eliminator. There are better kits out there. I don't remember how much it is but there is a kit that includes literally everything you need to do it. Also the rough country cross member hangs low so it reduces clearance.

this is the kit. It's a good bit more but it's better quality parts, and comes with everything you need. If you got the rough country kit you would still need to add more parts.

Haven't heard anyone complain about Rubicon Express since they went through their troubles a while back. It's what I run.
