I'm personally supporting Rustys retirement fund. Good product, ran his stuff for years. Nice guy, I've hung out with him picking his brain on his orange XJ, and he really does care about his product and listens to customer feedback.
I also like Rough Country alot. For a larger brand like that to make so much for the XJ trucks, we're pretty lucky. Again, running a combo with alot of RC in my rig too. Again, no complaints.
Don't believe everything you read on "teh interwebs". Try stuff out for yourself. Remember, the individual doing the install can make the world of difference of how a product preforms as well.

Gonna go Rusty's and OME on this, I have Rusty's 3" coils up front and OME 2" leaf packs out back, Rusty's shocks at all four corners. Great ride and a fair price, IMHO.

Find out what you want in your Lift, and what you can afford to spend $ wise, and go from there. I have always ran RC brand on both my XJ's. I have not tried another brand because I have had no issues.
Yes, try the search button, some people get sand down there and want to lash out to make them feel better about themselves. But, feel free to ask questions, that is what this forum is supposed to be about.

I have a 3" RC full leaf kit and I love it. Of course compared to my stock sagging suspension anything is better, but I had an 08' JK before this and with the RC lift it is absolutely no rougher than that was. Honestly, maybe I'm just inexperienced but all these people had me scared about the "rough" ride and I don't know what the hell they are talking about... guess they just wanted a nice cushy mall crawler suv or something. I definitely wouldn't use "sucks" to describe it either. It was either this or Rustys for me too since budget was a concern and shipping was just too high and I got a deal from Jason so I went with RC. Everyone is going to have good and bad experiences, but I think more people post about negative stuff than positive so I wouldnt let it scare you away.
Sorry for actually starting a dialogue and contributing to the conversation though, I should have probably just told you to SEARCH! .....whatever

We have 3 XJ's in the family. All 3 got the RC Series II 3 inch lift. Loved all 3 of them. Just got 2 4.5 inch lift for 2 of the same XJ's (we wanted them bigger
) And love them too. Only problem we had was with the lower control arm bushings but they updated to the new clevite style bushings. They sent replacements for free and they didn't charge for shipping. I have nothing but great things to say about RC. Most of my friends run RC lifts and love them. I only know 1 guy with a Rusty's lift and he can't wait to get rid of his Rusty's and install a RC lift in his Jeep. If that tells you anything.
