Default Help with deciding? LCA and rear spring

Hi, I am about to purchase a Rusty's 4.5 spring lift and I am wondering if it is worth the extra $$ to get the adjustable LCA and if so get the regular rubber end or the forged flex joint? Also wondering on the rear to get the full 4.5 inch spring or the 3" spring and the 1.5" shackle?? They have a option for both set ups. What would ride and last better. I only do very little wheeling so mostly a pavement puppy but my 6 year old does like hitting a few back trails now and then ANy help would be great!

Save yourself the hassle and trouble and stay away from Rusty's. They used to be very good back in say 02 but since then have lost there quality. Pull up a search a read reviews on there kits.
Rough Country makes a good kit for the price. Quality customer service to boot.

Thanks for the info I have heard about Rusty's here and there and I used to own a 6.5 LA lift in my old 01 that was great. I have also been hearing bad about that RE isnt that great anymore?? I could go that route but is it going to be any better than Rusty's, considering Rustys kit is really complete? Sorry I'm on this kit buying lately!
