If you're going to go with that, you may want to PM Grimus99xj (or call RC and ask for Jason, I think). He can get you a 10% discount which will probably be the same price you'll be getting from eBay including shipping and you'll be sure to work with RC if you have any problems. Let us know how it turns out!

I'm not a super hardcore offroader, I just want something better than what I have now and I figured this would be a much better route then spacer's and shackles.
I probably go mudding 4 times a month so I don't need a super expensive lift and I'm on a tight budget, also I'm not to super mechanical savvy so the junkyard budget option may be a little difficult.

4 times a month is more than i get to and i have a **** ton of money dropped into my jeep. get something that will last. its a pain to have to fix things as you go.

and like i said, no to little flex.
i hated the way my xj flexed & drove w/AALs
at that point, do a 1" block and a 1" lift shackle. better ride and flex than AAL. and prob cheaper.

Some may knock it but i have the rocky road 3". $256 shipped to your door with the shock extensions (i didnt get those, i put JK shocks on mine. rides like a dream) theres no drooping, wheel hop, yadda yadda yadda. If you're setting up a trail rig i wouldnt recommend it but for the DD, occasionally light wheeling i would strongly recommend it for the money. + those shackles are BEEF. Never seen any that compare
