Default Rustys or Roungh Country 3 inch lift?

I know RE and all that are better quality, im just set on these 2 brands, So performance wise which of the 2 do you all recomend: Rustys or Rough Country? Sorry if this has been brought up more than once. I will be adding a BB on top and i dont care about ride quality at all.

I have Rusty's and love it! I've driven both off road and prefer the Rusty's over RC. It seemed to be smoother on the trails and flex better IMO.

Rough Country, I have had the 4.5" for almost a year now and I love it. Abuse the hell out of it too.

Rc 3" aal massive amounts of abuse, no issues. That being said, one year after installing the 3" I am planning a 6.5" long arm. I thought I don't need the big lift. I don't have an ego. But, after a year of wheeling I need the big lift to concore all those obsticalls that the 3" won't clear.

You wont get a good answer this way. You need to research and read pro's and cons of each. Wright down a list of each that you like and dislike then the price, and weigh out your options.
