I agree i had a set of there lower arm and the flex joint went out within 3,000 mi and yes I greased them Originally Posted by helmut
Everything from them is garbage. And a lot of it I have personal experience with. Everyone that says their stuff is great needs to give it more time before giving their opinion on Rc quality. My bushings need replacing again in control arms and leafsprings that are too short to begin with . And that's after less then 10k. I am not replacing them anymore. When the Jeep becomes undrivable thanks to rc components all of that stuff is going in the trash.

Even the bushings on the quick disconnects are shot. And they don't even do anything. Rc will last longer on a full size truck because it probably never flexes .Originally Posted by 2KXJJEEP

Haha, we torture that beast he follows me where ever I go. I cant really speak of bushings or anything yet, I only have spring and shocks from RC. My longarms are either coming from there, iro, or serious. But at 650 rc has the best price, plus I know a couple members that run rc long arms with no issue

Back when I ran a sway bay my disconnects was fine but my brother in law sucked

Some people have had good results. A lot have not, myself included. The sheer number of people with issues is enough for me to say no to RC. Spotty and hit-or-miss results on the scale that it is, is enough for me, at least, to JUST SAY NO

I ran a 3 inch rc lift in my first xj. wasn't all that bad but I sold it before the lift was even a year old. now I have 4.5 inch lift from rc in my current xj and as far as the control arms and shocks go its garbage. leaf springs and coils are OK I guess but nothing to special. im going to start slowly removing rc parts from my jeep over time. control arms and shocks are the first to go

Iron Rock off road has great customer service. Always willing to work with you. I just got a 4.5 premium short arm lift from them for my ZJ and I can't wait to install it. Also upgraded to the adj short arms.
Almost went with a RC lift but the 4" lift doesn't come with new trac bars and other needed items. Also heard that the ride quality of the RC lifts aren't good. tends to be harsh. Probably because of the cheaper shocks.
Basically RC will give you looks but might not perform well. RE and BDS is way expensive. And IRO is kinda in the middle. And is a more " complete kit"
