give it up hater, no one ask for you opinion, as has been said already many have run rough country without issue, myself included 5+yrs and no problems. If you dont like it fine if not dont post but from your profile i can assume your only a bandwagon hater with no real personal experience.

Well yes my xj is stock... Thats bc i had an rc lift, and removed it 3 months later. Heres some lift knowledge for ya. Most lift companies test their springs for compression and rate them ( for convos sake we'll say the rating is 1-10) now most companies the the springs have to be within 1point of each other. In rc's case they dont car a spring rate of "10" can be put in a kit with another spring rated at "3". Why is this not a good idea you ask? Well when your xj looks like its flexin on flat ground then you can tell me how good of a product it is. And whoever said that you didnt ask for my opinion, thats your own stupidity, this is a forum, isnt that what a forum is for. My point is save your money kids and dont buy a cheap mass produced kit. Not trying to hurt feelings just offering my opinion which is what i thought these forums were for?

Did you buy and install it? Because if You did, I would have called RC. If not, then you don't have a clue how the thing was cobbled together by whoever did and it very well could have nothing to do with the quality of RC's product.

well if you bought the kit brand new and installed it and thats what happened then im sure if you would have called rough country they would have glady sent you new springs, without any questions.

Ok tell me this, how do you know how RC puts there kits together, im curious if you have some inside knowledge the rest of us dont or are you just talking out of your ***.

My RC kit has been level on flat ground since day 1, did you buy full leaf packs or were you one of the cheap asses who put AAL in sagged packs and cry when it doesnt hold up after everything settles. Heres one for ya, when i bought my 4.5" rough country kit my buddy had gone with the RE kit of same size, we installed em at the same time and funny part was my "****ty RC lift" sat 1/2"-1" higher than his even after settling and with in a year his RE leaf packs had sagged noticeably, i paid less that half what his kit cost for mine.

Yes im the one who said no one was asking for your opinion cause well no body was asking for an opinion on RC kits they were asking about where to get a windshield decal.

Ive never found rough country to be a cheap kit, its affordable....and what kit isnt mass produced?

If it makes you feel some how better to blow an assload of money on an overpriced kit go right ahead and do so, the rest of us that realize you dont need to buy the most expensive kit on the market will save our money and put it into other parts.

Im interested to here what sort of actual facts you have on RCs spring matching system, or is this just hearsay BS you picked up from your job, Cause wouldnt be the first time ive heard a sales guy trash a cheaper brand to make a buck on another.

Your right saying this is a forum where you can voice opinions, however wasn't this thread started because of the RC windshield banner decal? I mean i never got the impression this thread stated anywhere in it that it was created to bash RCs products. If thats what you want to do that's fine, start a thread about how much you hate RC lifts and I'm sure you will get feedback from people with the same feeling as you. However the general consensus of this thread seems to be that everyone (with the exception of you of course) indeed likes RCs products. If you had a problem and if what you say is true about the spring rates then email them and send some pictures and measurements and they happily send you replacement parts trust me I've done it. Not to mention if you truly are a jeeper you wouldn't mind swapping out parts anyway thats half of the fun if you ask me.

"Save your money kids" First condescending remark toward -somebody-. "dont buy a cheap mass produced kit." Second bash/condescending remark toward RC. "Not trying to hurt feelings" Third, and final condescending remark by being cool and presuming you'd hurt people's feelings. What a fail. Go away, troll in training.

I think the decal will boost the curb appeal of this mall crawler just as much as the horsepower (no pun intended, i.e. curb haha).

Thanks for the input guys.

Damn guys, like i said was just voicing an opinion. Didnt know i was gonna turn into the cf villian. Let me ask you this, If there was a product that you purchased and it lacked the quality you thought it should have, would you not be a little bitter? Yes they were full packs, yes i installed it, no rc didnt help. Signed the cf villian.

Well, he apparently already bought it and is quite satisfied with it, so "Stop buying Rough Country! its Garbage!" is kind of an insult.. Voice said opinion when someone starts one of the 57 threads a day titled "What kind of Lift should I get?" That's when it's not villainous to say.

(Sticker Height x Sticker Width) x (Weight of New Accessory / Weight of Old Accessory) / 3.14 = HP
