rough country is the most complete lift kit for the money. rides a bit stiff, but i love mine. but i guarantee that you can sell the rc shocks and invest in some old man emu shocks for a smoother ride.

Anything that doesn't have Rough Countrys name on it! Buy a kit from Zone Offroad. Less than $300 for a 3" with shocks. It is the best riding budget lift I've seen. Uses long AAL and the front springs are great. Mine rides better than stock.

I'll be the first to say that AAL are total crap. Secondly, Rough Country makes an excellent quality product for the price. AND they have pretty darn good customer service to boot. When you start a parts company that becomes more successful than RC, feel free to bash them all you want.
