Default rock krawler lift? help please

hey everyone, i have had my eye on this lift 4 a bit, i wanna ask if you can please give me your opinion on it, if its good quality or not, its pros and cons and if any one has had it, i already got some shocks for free because of an awesome deal so no point of getting a rough country since they come with shocks. I would really appreciate it.

yeah but i already have the shocks, some pro comps, and the 4.5 rc with full springs is 655 and tax maybe 50 bucks give or take and shipping for me is bout 60 some,so in all i would be paying bout 760 something plus with extra shock i dont even need, so the free shocks i got cancels out the extra money i would pay 4 the rock krawler which has disconnects, i like those.

yeah thats wat i said, might as well benefit in my case the free shocks and upgrade to something better, from what i heard rock krawler is a good product, my friend said the quick disconnect set up is really easy to use unlike sky jacker when you have to use a hammer, lol

I am running the RK 3 link setup on my rig, with the adj trac bar. There stuff is always good. AT least from my point of view. Mine flexes great.

I would try a different vendor for the stuff, as the one you posted is ussually high.

Try Motionoffroad.com

Remember you can call RC and order the kit without shocks and it is cheaper.

I think the RK parts look really beefy. I found a guy selling RK adjustable uppers and lowers around me for $150 for the whole set. I'm going to pick them up tonight. I would be down with getting anything else from RK...seems close in quality with RE.
