correct. it's a budget lift. almost any 3" lift is budget. which is why I would choose a budget shock, which is just my opinion
however, I fully plan on getting bilsteins with my lift because of their great reviews. good luck with your decisions

What is up with the rough country nut swingers here in CF? Does CF make money on every RC kit sold? I frequent many jeep forums and this is the only one that says rough country is a great product?

Many other quality options for lifts out there. You buy cheap you get cheap. Shocks will be bilsteins all the way!

I have a Skyjacker lift on my XJ. The PO put it on. If I had my choice, I would have a Rubicon Express lift with Bilstein shocks. But sadly, it is all Skyjacker. At least it's lifted.
