Well i have most of the parts in that picture. Mine was a DD until i killed it at an offroad event. I wheel mine. Hard. I beat the **** out of it. None of the parts i have had ever failed me. It rides just like a jeep. The one beef i have is the spring packs. They blow. Plain and simple. I run rubicon express 3.5 packs ind i like those much better.
P.S i know several guys that i go wheeling with run RC parts and beat on them. No problems yet.

What size lift do you have in the front. My rough country 4.5 add a leaf is garbage. I can't decide what to buy I hear the rough country full packs are too short? I want to do they rubicon express 3.5 with the 1.5 inch shackles that came with my rough country lift. But I fell like it might be too high in the rear, will it match my front 4.5 ???

Probably will be. Rough Country started a thread about what we wanted to see in their product and it was overwhelmingly fix your leafs. They said it's going to research and development team and we never heard back from them.

Well they will work. It will ride pretty cruddy I'm not gonna lie. But you can still get some flex out of them. Some shackle relocation brackets will help.

I bought this kit with the add a leaf and it's great but the aal is the worst thing u can buy the amount of sway and bounce is scary and I'm running extended shackles and relocation brackets. Just put 3 1/2 full leafs and it is night and day. Don't waste the time and money on the aals. And when I got the kit I went to put the leafs together and the centering pin wouldn't fit threw my leafs so I had to use an Allen head bolt. I emailed them about this and pics and they never got back to me.

Hey guys got the x series kit with full leafs front quick release pins N20 shocks. I love the bushing design for the control arms very flexible compared to the solid bushing style. Personally think you cant go wrong for the money the kit is very solid. I paid 720 bucks free shipping on ebay!!! ***made an offer*** The kit went together very smooth no issues at all. got it done in 5 hours (this is the third jeep ive lifted book time is about 10 hours!!!)
The only problem ive run into and have had the kit for 8 months now is one of the rear bushings in the leaf got screwed up and torn not sure how but just replaced it with a poly bushing kit that i had laying around.
Other than that rides like any other lifted jeep pretty stiff ride but i like it!
hope my input does someone some good!
