Huh. Limit straps are lame, eh? Guess I'll tell that to all the guys running them on their ultra 4 rigs out at King of the Hammers this year, haha!

Limit straps are good so you DON'T over extend things.Used properly, it can help you out big time when you need it...also depends on what kind of suspension you run as well...

Or when you have excessive droop that will destroy you shocks or rip your brakelines.

I have all rc stuff. Would I buy it again? Probably not because I want a long arm lift and I'm probably going to go with another brand for that but I didn't have a problem with any of my stuff and I haven't broken or had any springs sag or anything. And I am not easy on my jeep. They aren't bad for a cheap basic lift.

Oh I get it for the go fast rigs. Mine rarely sees over 60 offroad. at this point in time im okay screwing up small **** like shocks. They all have warranties and its not exactly laborious to replace them. **** I've been trying to break the bilstiens since I got them. And trust me guys, I know RC isn't the best, and I likely wouldn't go that route again, but for a beginner that wont likely beat there rigs like a lot of us do, it will work perfectly fine. When I got mine I never really planned on starting an addiction to wheeling, I wanted to drive a lifted jeep on "Big" tires... a beginner hence the lame 3" and 31's setup. Since then I have obviously done more research and replaced the real weak point from that kit and IMO have built a pretty tuff jeep. Is there stuff i still need? Yes... but this thing will never be done
