RC springs are soft as all hell. I had their 3" ones and hated them. look at the coil diameter next to my 4.5" IRO's. They're a much better ride quality.

IRO is a great option when you go long arm. But I still vote the RC as your best value staying short arm.

Ya with my budget I think rc looks like the best deal. Looked at rustys and they are pretty cheap. But I've also heard bad things about them

Ive been looking into this RC kit. http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html Im over seas so the truck wont see any wheeling til I get back stateside where I can readily find parts. Is there anything I would absolutely have to buy also with this? Remember it will just be a mall crawler in S. Korea
