RC lift question

So I decided on a RC 3" lift. Now should I just get the regular lift without LCAs and get my own that are adjustable (UCA/LCA) to get the proper caster angle?
 
get the other kit with the lower control arms and the drop brackets for the front sway bar. did the cheap route with mine and ended up getting the rest later, at more cost, problem was with the lower control arms, not haveing enough room left between the axle mount and the arms for droop. also had to get the drop brackets for the swaybar to mount the bar without the links destroying the bushings
 
The girlfriend has got the 3" RC kit with just the coils and add a leaves and we have had no problems with it. Have taken it offroad and can flex it out just fine with out having different control arms or anything else. Rides pretty decent and handles good as well. Just my .02 on what works for us.
 
Idk if the kit has changed, but my first lift in 09 was the 3" kit with full leaf packs.

it didnt come with and control arms or track bar provisions at the time, and it worked great for me for about 2 years, when I wanted to go bigger. then I went long arms, and sold the kit.

if your going to sat at 3" forever then you could get the arms. but im kinda happy I didnt. factory arms are probably pretty cheap at the junk yard if they get bent up too bad
