Rough Country great price and great service and great shipping cost plus if you mention you are a forum member theres an additional 10% off

all of the kits quality is going to be about the same. We are talking about major companies not some shed in the backyard making lifts. To much liability to willingly and knowingly ship crap product.

As far as ride quality then you got to understand that its part spring rate and part shock valving, All three companies are really close in spring rates, so its wheres the better shocks (bang for buck)

just my well educated (and bias) 2 cents
Very informative post... who would you recommend for some good riding shocks?

I went with Rough Country and the shocks it comes with for the time being. When those go out I plan on spending about 400-600 on some nice shocks.
