its the same way with a Lotta things in the world two things can be identical but are two different brand names and ones gona cost more than the other
take coats for example a carhartt jacket and a walls jacket are made from the same material look the same and everything but because on says carhartt is gona cost more than the walls brand
but
opinions are like ******** everybody got one
to each his own
ill stick with rough country gona put the same rough country kit i had on my 95 on my new 98 xj and ill do same thing i did with my last one ill go to the trail with my $500 lift kit and fallow everybody everywhere they go with there more expensive kits

 

Hands down Rough Country all tha way

 

Where are some good places online to buy lifts?

 

You could go to the companies website itself or find trusted companies, I bought mine from 4x4groupbuy.com and the service was real good. got my lift within a week. Of course they are located within 20 minutes of me hlps too but it worth a try. Thats just my opinion though.

 

What do you all think about add a leafs?

 

the rear lift on my 4.5" rough country was a full length add a leaf and a shackle i liked it it road good and flexed good

 

So you are saying lay a rough country leaf pack next to a deaver leaf or BDS leaf and they are from the same company? keep dreaming dude. not even close to quality with deaver or bds.

you obviously have not dealt with any other company out there so you really cant compare. rough country is the #1 suspension brand that we work on here at the shop. yes their customer service is good but quality is not as good as their customer service.

OP its your money buy what you want but plan on fixing bushings and joints and sagging leafs down the road. to me its not worth it

 

I havent had anything other then my Rustys kit, I would recommend it.

 

What work do you do on them?

 

ive run roughcountry, rustys, iron rock, bds, and rubicon express. rustys and roughcountry are the best for budget oriented, iron rock and rubicon are a midrange priced lift that is good, and bds is one of the best but most expensive.

if i were on a budget id go with a rustys kit.

 

All bushings ware out over time all joints eventually go bad and all leafs eventually sag don't matter who makes it and yes I've had other brands of lifts on various. Rides ive had over the years super lift sky jacker rancho bds tomken procomp rustys etc. ....the boy asked for the best deal in a lift and still have cash for tires rough country is the best for him with what he's got to work with

 

I think I'm goin to go with full leafs in the rear. I don't see the point of adding 1 new leaf to an 18 year old pack.

Do you think a spring shop can bend or make me a 3" lift spring? I wonder if it would be cheaper than a name brand spring such as rustys or RC. And by cheaper I mean price not quality.

And for the front new 3" springs or a 3" spacer?

 

this is true but bushings with 500 miles on them are toast? their flex joints are complete garbage. i have worked on 3 long arm kits and have replaced their crappy flex joints for johnny joints. i have also seen 2 track bars bend. you get what you pay for in the suspension world today. you want the best deal and you buy from a bottom feeder of the suspension world then yes you will be replacing joints and bushings in no time. with the issues that come through the shop we stop quoting rough country products to our customers.......

 

What do yous think if these springs?
