The RC looks like it has a bit more adjustability and the center section completely removes, but it requires a min of 4" lift. What do have?

I've got a set of these coming too. Since I cheaped out on the shipping (UPS), they are supposed to be in 8 to 12 months.

Thats funny even though i am hoping you really dont mean 8 to 12 months. You can cheap out on there shipping? I paid the 15 bucks for shipping and got them in 2 days. But i am an instant buyer

I've got those Rough Country ones. They're no JKS pieces, but they do the trick.

I think he said they're from his girlfriend. He's just telling her what he wants.

Yeah I was just kidding around. When I ordered my RC lift kit for Harley's jeep half the parts (coils and shocks) arrived right on time. The leafs (apparently shipped from another location) went from Kentucky to Arkansas, and actually were here in Phoenix and scheduled for delivery. Due to some UPS mess up instead of being delivered, went back to Tennessee, then to Kentuckey. They finally got em here two weeks after I ordered them. They shipped em almost all the way across the country.......... twice.

I got a prize award from my company for my 20 year anniversary in the form of new mountain bike. Nobody was home the day it was delivered and I found a UPS delivery notice on my front door. It said bike has been delivered "over the back fence". Went to the back yard and sure enough there lay my bike in a box that looked like it was drug behind the truck for a couple miles. The box had several holes in it, and all the corners were crushed. Apparently they quite literally "delivered it over the fence". Amazingly nothing was broken. I assembled it and it other than a couple scratches, it rides fine. I wasn't going to argue the couple scratches.

Funny thing is, I've got two back gates and neither one was locked. They didn't have to toss it over.

Just got finished installing my disco's from rusty's. At first the pins were tough to get out but with some minor tweaking and aligning they come out just fine. Took it for a test drive and they make a little noise that is managable. As for the top disco'ing from the bottom easy, that is a different story. I have heard in the past just to take the pins out and th trail will do the rest. I will see if this holds true once i get my extended bumpstops for the front and do something with my brake lines. Not sure if my brake line extensions will be long enough

Here is some pics of my setup

please feel free to give imput on my brake lines and thinking if they will be long enough when i disco
