My son's 87 XJ is sitting on a RC 6.5" kit which is basically the same kit and his rides and flexes great!!

I've heard that some people say they are decent while others say they aren't. I go by, you get what you pay for...(Or something along those lines)

Im partial to RC, but do a quick search and you will see everyone has there own opinion. Mine, it rides stiffer than stock, it's lifted and it not my car so it is equal to a rough ride in my book. But I like it.

Of course if you don't want a rough ride you can always opt to not get the shocks in the kit. Get monotubes or something. Guess that will smooth the ride out a bit more than the RC shocks.

I have the 4.5 and for he money you cant go wrong. It is pretty stiff but who cares??? If you want a smooth ride you wouldn't have bought a jeep!

RC makes good stuff, great customer service..Are there lift manufacturers that are better?? Sure there are and they cost more. Is RC the best lift out there nah but sure is good for the money and better then most kits in that price range. Would I run RC sure but I do like my RE kit..
Like others have said everyone will have an opinion the thing most forget is it's not a matter of what you like better it's a matter of are the parts good and the answer is yes they are just not the best.
