Default Thoughts on Rough Country lifts

What are everybody's thoughts on the Rough Country lifts? Good? Bad? And why?

I am looking at their 4.5" full leaf kit by the way.

Thanks in advance,
Jeep450r

I can't vouch for their lifts, but i have the 8000 shocks and am very happy. I also have the $30 stabilizer and it was a major difference. Customer service is awesome and the dudes I talked to were cool as hell!

I'm curious too. I was looking at the 3" lift for my girlfriends KJ and they seemed to have the best built one out there for Liberties.

Ok as has been said many times.. RC lifts are good lifts and those who use them like em. There are some who don't and many who do. If you do you research and search a bit you will find plenty of information on opinions about rough country lifts.. In fact a search of the site on just Rough Country brings up 18 pages of threads..

I love my 4.5" AAL kit I got from Rough Country. I was able to see the front suspension worked great when the tree fell on the hood.
