And even $1600ish you can still buy a crappy rough country or a cheap iro kit.

Damn some people need a lesson in spelling "Petals" not Pedals. Jeez... Pedals are on a bike.

As for the lift you cant really get a cheap one that rides good. Rough Country is about as cheap as your gonna get for a lift kit I think.

Rough Country is plenty good enough to do 70 percent of what most "offroaders" would try or do in general. I personal dont see why so many people have problems with RC makes no sense to me sense its a great lift for the price, granted if your going to be doing King of the Hammers you wont be using a RC lift ud most likely get the top of the line but that would be covered by sponsors for the most part.
