im looking into the 3" series II, any good or bad thoughts on rough country?

 

rough country=rough ride.

 

okay and within the same price range who would provide a better all around lift?

 

no one. i think. don't get me wrong, it's rough, but i love mine. best money i've spent on my XJ.

 

x2 on it being rough. i would buy mine again. get good shocks tho. other than that, i love it.

 

i wheeled the 3" lift for about two years it never did me wrong

 

werd. rc seemed to look good (cost / perf.) to me.

 

i would love to be able to get a RC lift. even though its a rough ride....its a jeep...ride quality shouldnt be a major concern...where as offroad performance and quality&strength of the parts i was wondering about. does the RC 3 inch series ll flex well?

 

My 96 rides nearly as well as it did before the lift. If I didn't know better I would say mine wasn't lifted and I have an RC lift. Everything I have is RC and love it.

 

I don't have a RC lift, mine is pure junkyard. I DO have RC nitro shocks and they do ride Rough. Better than the Ranchos and Pro-comps I had in the past. From what I have seen the lift itself is Good for the money. But I would plan to invest in better shocks. I will be getting OME or Bilstien for the next set.

Good shocks = Equals Good ride

 

RC lift's are well worth the money. Just make sure you spend the extra $$ and get full leaf packs not AAL!

 

^^^x2. and as far as flexing well....if its setup right it will flex like anything else

 

i like mine. i have the one you are looking at. i went yesterday down the back roads and through the heavy brush and it works great. went through the drainage ditches like nothing, went over the spots i used to get hung up on, and ran through the squishy muddy sand easily

 

you cant beat the prices they have on their long arm kits....and their other kits i havent heard any complaints on.... but i agree with the others get some good shocks to go with it.

 

okay another question.. as i stated i am looking at the 3", what if. and i mean what if. i decided on the 4.5" lift. would that be "to much" if i were to use it as a cruddy weather and winter daily driver? for spring and summer i plan on riding the motorcycle (mainly as a gas saver). but i also have a 5 and 6 yr old so any of their transportation needs must be considered.... and my sons LOVE TO GO OUT WHEELIN'.
