Default What's wrong with RC 4.5"

Ok debating between RE 3.5" and RC 4.5" I know re is a better company but besides the tre and track bar what is wrong with RCs kits? Could I just buy the 4.5" one and scrap their track bar and buy one from like iro or something. Which lift should I go with? Thanks!

First you should decide how high you actually want to go. there is a big difference between 3.5 and 4.5. What kit are you looking at, for both companies? Nothing wrong with RC or RE. RE is known as better ride.

Just a temporary lift. Gonna go with the zone 4.5" lift with full leafs, new track bar, and tcase drop. In a few years probably piece my own 6" lift out of top quality stuff plus the whole 1000 yards. I can get the zone 4.5 for like $150 below msrp and I want to get it lifted to do some wheeling.

I just bought the RC lift. Rear leafs are a pain to install. But i got 6 in out of them right now. There new control arms are cool but havnt wheeled them yet. The new shocks RC uses seem a ton better than what i got with there 3in lift several years ago. But i havnt had it out to know for sure yet. RC is good for the money though.
