thats the same kit i have in mine and havent noticed any sag yet and its been in for a year. The shocks that come with it are complete crap so be ready to but new ones within 5,000 miles. Doesnt fit 31's as perfectly it states i had to trim some plastic but nothing serious. Overall its a decent kit for the price.

yes, its a rough county lift. the bushings will be destroyed quickly, search for rough country bushings here. you will see what I'm talking about. RC shocks are complete garbage. will ride rough. the leafs sag rather quickly. save you money and buy a quality kit.

RC is the #1 kit that comes into our shop with issues.

It would be nice if somebody made a Lift kit Sticky detailing each lift and a rating that went with them.

lol, i've seen him bash rough country quite often as well, but hey i dont blame him. no, ive never personally run rough country, but it seems that he gets a lot of failed rough country products in the shop. hell, if i saw a countless amount of failed components from a certain company, i'd warn people to stay away from that company too.

given your experience, is there a kit out there you like or have you seen a bastard spring pack that you've seen without major issues?
