Hey Jason.
So far I have put two RC lifts on my Cherokee, a 3inch and a 6.5inch. Besides the lifts I have seven RC products installed. The quality and fit for all of the RC products has been great.
What I would like to see you guys get into are internal roll bars and cages. You can feel free to use my Cherokee as the test fit platform.

I actually have a call in to a local spring shop to get their price on a new set of springs with the lift built into them. I know they built a set for my buddies 3/4 diesel suburban for like $175 for the set with no shipping. So if I can go that route I will. I agree that new springs are much better, especially in the long run, than AAL's.

I ordered a 3" RC kit yesterday, ordered the kit with control arms and standard shocks. Would have liked to have upgraded to the full springs in rear but couldn't justify the extra cost. Will install next weekend assuming the kits gets here by then. I must say I was pretty shocked that shipping was $50 for the kit, that seemed excessive.

I have, guess I just thought that wasn't going to weigh as much as it does, or that RC was closer to St. Louis and therefore it would be less. Don't know, was just surprised when I ordered it. So I made a mistake, if any of you are perfect then you can ridicule me all you like. Maybe I am being too pissy, but its been a LOOOOOONG week.

That's damn decent for shipping a whole kit. Specially if it had full leaf packs.
Here's a comparison.
I got a 3" full leaf kit from rustys
Cost me $138 to ship it.
When I wanted to order rustys otk steering, shipping online said $36, I called and ordered and they wanted $136 to ship it, really?
Rough country sent me 6 heavy *** boxes for $65 bucks.
