I considered both of those kits, went with the Clayton's. I haven't heard any "bad" things about either, but I was told that the RE kit can interfere with some rock slider mounts. I will say that the Rock Krawler rear leafs that used to come with the Clayton's kit are garbage, mine turned from "U"s to "W"s in just one year. I have been told that Clayton's no longer uses the RK leaf packs, which is a good thing.
The price diffrence is negliegable, IMO. Do a search here on both kits, you'll find tons of opinions.

the RE kit no longer interferes with rock slider mounts, both AJ's and JCR (top rock sliders) have made adjustments to their designs and they now work with most long arm kits, you just have to tell them which one you have and they will fab them up for you at no extra charge... just a FYI

I dident know that you get a free SYE and driveshaft when you order Rubicon express. When they start doing that?
Also another thing to consider, Clayton is a 6.5" lift, RE is on a 5.5" lift.

RE does not goive a free SYE and driveshaft, someone just is packageing it that way and the price reflects it

Love my clayton kit, no issues with the rear springs yet, mine is about 9 months old.
Customer service is 100% top notch. I have heard good things about both kits though. I was told by some trustworthy friends who have had both to go with the Clayton, so thats what I did.

I'm running RE springs with Clayton LA's. Can't beat the Claytons stuff in terms of the LA's, but i have no experience with the springs they package with their kit. On the other hand, the shaft and SYE would be hard to pass up (not quite clear how that is included though).
