Ok here's what I got going on. I'm in the market for my lift for the black widow.
Iv'e got it narrowed down between to companys. Iron rock and rough country.
IRO has the complete kit with rc shocks and brake line extenders but no lca.
Rc has the lca but not extenders. any thought would be great. Oh yeah both are 3" lifts

Did 6.5" on GMC couple weeks ago. Rough Country. Was very impressed as all parts required were in the kit, very good instructions book. Results were sweet.

If the only difference is the LCA and brakeline brackets I would go with RC. The lower control arms they supply are the same in their 3in and 4.5 in kits. So at 3inches they will ride better and if you go up to 4.5 later you already have LCAs. The brake line extenders are not that big of a deal. They just move the line down a bit, you could acomplish that other ways. Or you could get longer lines from a YJ which are like $15. As far as quality both companies are the same- Neither is spectacular but both are ok.
