I'm not trying to start a "to use them or not" thread, but if you were going to use them, which one is better to install and more trouble free? Rocky Road (Damn I want some ice cream now...) or Rough Country?

I see the RC one has a slot for the lower control arm, but didn't notice a slot on the RR one (could be the beer, lol). Thanks you gentlmen.

Rough Country and their lifetime warranty for the win.

Rocky roads look beefy as Hell but they will likely take 2 months to get to you.

Good consensus. Do you definately need the alignment after? Could you put it off if it drives better right after, or still get it done???

Stick a straight edge on it and measure. You can get close enough.

x2 on rubicon express.
they're the only ones that go far enough on the frame rail to the cross member bolts.
and the upper mount is better in my opinion also.

i went from RE brackets to longarms.
to be honest, the ride is about the same, but the flex is a bit better, and bonus bragging rights.

Did you ever have an issue hanging up the cad? From what I can tell they aren't much lower.
