I have mostly Skyjacker equipment but my friend has a 4.5in RC lift on his 96 2dr and he is not impressed. Shock bushings went out in less than a year and he is afraid to install the shackle relocater brackets he has because he's not heard good things about it. Not sure they have the durability he wants.

X2 I wouldn't have bought a second kit if I didn't think they would step up and fix the bushing issues. So far I'm really liking the new shocks too everything is nice and tight. Last time around I could hear the upper shock bushings after a couple weeks. So i'm impressed. I always suggest rc to friends.

has anyone considered trying to get them to send a 3" leaf pack with a set of relocation brackets instead of 4.5" leaves?
from what i have read it should deliver close to the same height .should flex better with less arc to the leaves and gets away from the short leaf problem. not that i have tryed it but maybe someone else has or can give me a reason not to go that way?

Here's my 98 XJ with your series II 3" lift the same day I installed it last year. I still love it. I just ordered new brake lines from RC and sway bar disconnects. I'd love to see RC sell more XJ stuff.
