RE-Best Quality overall
BDS-One of the best
Rustys-Cheap, mixed reviews
RC-Cheap, Junk, I had two, both rode like crap compared to my BDS and RE lifts.

I installed my 4.5 RC yesterday and i was impressed. Everything went in pretty easily but I would def get the longer brake lines. AS far as everything aside if you have another DD i would say go for the RC that is what I did.

peppersxj, what else are you running with the kit though? do you have the control arm drops, adjustable trackbar with the tracbar mounts, and a steering stablizer?

i kinda figured as much, the control arm drops and eliminates some of the stiff ride apparently, and the tracbar eliminates the eath wobbles which by the way my xj has stock... thank you new rear leafs and stock height shocks. highway at 85 needle bounce and all of a sudden needless to say i almost pised my self, ah fun times
