Ok, I've been all over the board now from 6.5 BDS and T&T long arm kits to a now SA 4.5 Rough Country kit. I have taken everyone's advise into account over the past month or so. And it sounds to me like there is a lot of value in a RC lift compared to some of the big guns out there. Any of you out there with there new 4.5 X-Flex kit? Pros or Cons? The goal is to slap that on with a Tom Woods SYE & DS in order to run 33x10.50's and be done with it. I've been on the fence for a while now and it's time to get er done.

I have the 4.5 x-series kit. If you go with them I suggest you ask for 3" rear leaf springs and add the shackle relocation boxes. That will really improve the ride if the rear end and keep you at 4.5" in the rear. One thing I don't like about the lift kit is the quick disconnects, I plan on upgrading to JKS. Heres a pic. Check out my build for more.
Note: I also have control arm drop brackets which helps in front end drop

It's the exact kit I run, I did the full leafs in the back. Ride isn't terrible, but if I wanted a caddy I would have bought one lol. Also I'm running 35's

BDS and TNT are much higher up the food chain the RC. RC rides rough. They are cheap for a reason and they have tons of bushing issues. I have owned a RC and will never buy one again.

Spend the money and do it right the first time instead of replacing parts down the road. Here on CF theres many that have never had a quality lift kit and cant compare RC to a quality brand.

CF must make a percentage of of every RC lift sold because if you check every other Jeep boards out there you will find many unhappy RC owners.
