I've been looking at a 6.5 from rough country and for the price it looks like a pretty good buy ($900).

What do you guys thinkof rough country. Anything better I should look at in that price range?

If you want to go that high, look into a long arm system. You will thank yourself later.

Rough country has had some negative reviews in the past. They have since changed ownership or parent companies and their suspension is up to par with most other value priced suspension systems. Buy a Rubicon Express suspension or Skyjacker and IMHO you are paying alot for that sticker that's included with the kit!

go long arm if your gonna go 6.5" youll regret it if you dont. going that high with a short arm kit will give you a much rougher ride. RC is a great brand and has very good customer service and great prices. stick with them and get thier long arm kit you wont regret it.
