They all will eventually but a full leaf-pack will outlast an AAL by 10 years or more as long as you don't invert the pack on a regular basis.

You're gonna hate yourself in 3-15 months if you get an AAL because you're just gonna have to do it right once it sags.

I wouldn't trust that. Good luck getting what they supposedly include in the kit. I don't see how they can include everything RC includes and undercut their prices by so much.

order from RC online, $70 for disconnects(really nice ones too!) and $30 for a steering stabilizer. Throw in $10 for shipping and you're at $110.

I already have the kit and it came with everything. I checked all the parts. It even came with u-bolts for d35 and 81/4 axles,RC stickers and warning label. I installed the front and have the rear takin apart. Just waiting on parts I ordered that broke getting the old off so I can finish.

You do realize its possible that its not a rough country kit right? that they just got some rough country stickers and decided to call it a rough country lift kit.

there's no way that rough country would sell their kit to other vendors and then allow those vendors to undercut their prices.

It came in RC boxes with RC instructions and RC warranty. I dont know, seems like RC to me. I would think RC would sue over that kind of Blatant theft.

I'm not sure if you mentioned that before. I know links were posted to other sites that look really sketchy. Sounds like whoever listed the kits on carpart bought them from a vender who either had excess inventory or went out of business so you're getting legitimate RC parts at bargain prices. thats not even fair. :P I may need to buy those disconnects and steering stabilizer if its really that cheap.
