It's really hard to get a good idea on wich product to buy when no 2 people agree on one specific set up , ktmracer , why do u like the TNT set up ? I really like that one now after looking at it and I'm sorta leaning towards that , but now I found out I can get the rough country one for 500 bucks , price isn't the issue here but were talking about a 400 dollar differance , I'll spend the extra cash if it's worth it

but I would run it over rustys
it's actually "high clearance", rustys "high clearance" is far from it. comes with a belly skid, and the joints don't suck, (they use rubicon express joints/bushings)
i would give rough country a shot, they have excellent customer service and thier products have come a long way in terms of quality in the past few years

I have the newer flex joint rc short arms and love them , just a little hesitant on a brand new product that not to many people are running yet , I been dealing with rc for a while and had nothing but good experiances with them and there products , maybe I'll give em a shot
i think that rough country is a good company. i had their lift kit, and now i have the rubi express superflex 4.5.... the rubicon wears parts out really quickly i think. and its expensive to rebuild their track bars. i am goin to be ordering the RC longarm kit in a little bit if i dont decide to just build my own.

Mine usually don't have much down time , everything good and almost bullet proof now but I'm never satisfied and always need something diff and better , I was laid off for 4 months and just started working again so I'm trying to catch up on bills , so I need another couple weeks to order my parts , and they should be on in a day , but I'm good to go out anytime , I'm just sick of all this snow

My buddy had an Xj with a 6.5" Rusty's Long Arm Kit, thing flexed great, he also had 2" spacers up front and a 2" drop shackle in the rear.
He never had a problem with the lift, besides worn bushing since the lift had been on there for years, which caused some death wobble until they were replaced.
Some people bash rusty's, some don't, I myself don't judge until I've owned a product of a company's.
I've worked in a fab shop, and when you're trying to fill orders with a tight deadline, mistakes happen.
I'm not gonna say rusty's is the best choice for longarms, but they make a pretty nice kit.The rough country looks pretty damn good for the price though, but then again I've never run rough country.
