I would have to give it a 10, for the money you can't beat it rides great and their customer service is great as well the only thing i regret is i ordered mine right before they released the long arm version which i wish i would have saved a little bit more money and purchased that instead. The only other thing about it is make sure to spring for the full leaf pack instead of the add-a-leaf, AAL's are known to sag over time.
Sorry for the long response haha but yeah overall 10 for sure!

For the price and amount of lift you get I would give it a 7/10 assuming your leafs are in fair condition to use the AAL.

All depends on what you plan to do with it. 10 people will give 10 different answers. I personally don't like Rough Country but I know others who do. There stuff tends to be kind of a general lift and by that I mean OK for most things (most kits are like this) but not great for any of them. If you plan on street driving a lot or trail riding or mudding or rock crawling you will want it to perform a certain way. Figure out what your plans are and that will help determine what you need.

hmm well i think it will be more of a street driver then tearin' up a mud hold and trails or climbing some rocks tbh i dont think it will be off road more then maybe twice in a spand of 4 months(unless it snows)

If your Jeep isnt gonna see much off road use, the RC kit is good. Ive seen alot of their stuff bend and break off road though.
Always remeber, "you get what you pay for."

mkay well with the money i got now and what everyone says( all over forms web) about this lift they all say its good, but they also say i should get teh long arm for a better/smother ride

LAs will perform better on travel and daily driving, though if you do a lot of rock crawling you will find yourself getting caught up on them sometimes.

I would suggest the RC LA lift if you had the cash to throw at it, plus the sye/ds

I recently bought the 4.5" RC lift and i really love it it looks great and honestly the difference between a 3 and 4.5 is only 50 bucks so i mean cummon. i've heard of RC gear breaking on the trail but RC offers many very technical upgrades to pretty much every component of their setup. I got the complete leaf pack replacement kit. it took me and a mechanic buddy 8 hours to install, WELDING was involved a bit but other than that is was bolt on. and you don't need the control arm drops for the kit with the way their aftermarket control arms are made now.
I run mine on 31x10.50 on outlaw 2 rims and they don't rub.
It rides great the only thing is i left my rear sway bar in for now to tow and the rear rides a bit like a 2x4 but i plan on getting disconnects.
Hope this was a ll a little helpful

Id give it a 7/10.

Its a good kit. The shocks are really stiff though, I would look into buying some different ones.

the rc 2.2 shocks arent too bad

this thread is great, i'm in the same boat, i'm looking at this lift of the IRO 6.5 LA kit... this one seems closer to the budget tho!!!
