Pretty much any CA you get from any company will be better then stock. I have Zone LCAs and they are pure beef. As for shocks, I hear that the new rough country shocks are pretty nice. All BPEs do is eliminate the bar pin at the top of your rear shocks, and bottom of your front shocks. They will give you about 1 inch more travel on your shocks

an inch more droop. but not an inch more travel. money is better spent on correct length shocks where you will actually gain travel. ive never had an issue with bar pins

I just ordered rough country uppers and lowers and saw them in person and they seem plenty beefy, and they are adjustable, store owner also told me they have a lifetime warranty! I also got rough country rear shocks he also said lifetime warranty. These guys (like me) will actually do a good amount of four wheeling here in az and they all run RC so I trust they hold up good.

So in regard to shock length. If I have an 3'' rc lift installed, and I might go to 4.5, is it cool to run longer shocks? Like the rc 4-6'' nitros, or skyjackers for 5-6''?
