Dont see anything about extended brake lines or brake line relocation brackets with the kit... Probly gonna need them too...

 

yeah im sure rc is cheaper, but the x factor one with disconnects is bout or a lil more than the 4.5 RK. anyone that has had it that i have read bout say its top notch, while on jeep reviews and jeep forum. com, good percentage of people do not recommend RC, guess depends on how your going to use the jeep then.

 

well jus called rough country and they told me cant get it without the shocks since its all packaged together, so scratch that lol....

 

Who did you talk to? I've read that if you talk to Jason, he's almost always accommodating.

 

lmao, yeah that was jason, ha damn what a coincidence. i asked him if there was any other way and he said no just like that, so i was like...... ok.. ha, oh well.

 

That's really not a bad price for a nice kit like that. I have always heard from folks running RK stuff that it was very good. They were on Wranglers though, no experience with the XJ kit. It's considerably cheaper than the RE 4.5 kit, and the RK is of comparable quality to RE IMHO. And if you already got the shocks, may as well get a higher dollar lift...

 

yeah thank you that is exactly what i have been trying to say, just wanted to know the quality of the kit, instead i get all these rough country owners telling me bout it. rc is good but i think i should benefit my free shocks with the better lift.

 

Well I own a RC lift too actually. And alot of people really swear by their RC stuff, including myself, I love my RC lift! So I can't blame them for really pushing RC's kits, lol. But if I were in your position I would probably looking at stuff like RE, RK, or some other kind of "middle priced" lift kit, that or an RC 6.5" setup...

 

oh i know if i didnt have the free shocks, i would of gotten it, really good price for that. but i jus wanted to see if anyone knew about rk. not many people have so far only one guy on this forum has one, plus i heard the simplicity and easyness of the disconnects is good. i would go for the 6.5 but i need it for my daily driver and dont wanna make too many mods on it. need the t case drop to avoid the sye and cv, most likely i will still need it but jus for now till funds roll in for me.

 

i put rc on trail and barely drivin rigs but if its a dd i would do a ome lift

 

For all you ppl pimping the RC stuff.. he was asking about RK stuff. Sure RC stuf is cheaper and does the job.

RK's Lower arms on the X factor kit are solid stock, drilled and tapped for the Hiem joint. The upper joint for the front axle is a johnny joint style joint. The hardware they use is all 5/8th or bigger.


AS for kits coming with shocks and brake lines. Its nice to get them in the kit, but until you install the kit with the tires and equipment you have on your rig.. they might not be the best choice for your rig. To me it more improtant what the spring rates are for the front coils and how the rear lift is achieved.

 

im planning on down a custom lift but for my first lift i got the 4.5 rc lift

 

oh ok i see what you mean, yeah i know ima need break lines and brackets, but i mean its RK, that wat i wanted to hear bout thr RK, a description of it, i got more RC people telling me other stuff, lol but thank you sir that what i wanted to know.

 

ya well i never used rk so i cant say yes or no

 

that lift is gooooood.
