the rumor is that they had a bad set of bushings for a while and yes if you have to small of bushings that puts alot of vibs and stress on the control arms and such making the lift start to rattle and loosen. BUT A LOT of people have NOT had ANY problems at all! people that wheel a lot even! so call them and they will make it right! RC has the best customer service in the industry! and the lines are open like all the time. but yes it is an ENTRY LEVEL lift. its not going to stand up to a RE lift. but for the price it is still a good product..not GREAT..but GOOD (usually) haha

this is incorrect. we have had numerous RC bushing issues and RC did nothing. They said it was average wear and tear. many many many other GREAT options out there that dont have a crappy product like RC

with the way I'm seeing you post 5 or 6 times a day about how awful they are, I can only imagine what kind of crap you gave them over the phone. I've still yet to see anyone produce pics of these failed rough country parts. But I did notice this thread about rubicon express's parts breaking with pics (which I see you're running).

putting the damn thing on with all this rusted BS is the biggest complaint i have but that isnt RC fault. ive heard mixed reviews mostly on the shocks that come with the kits. youll be replacing them after 5000miles i guess other then that its like anything else take care of it and it should be fine
