I have installed rc kits on 50000 dollar trucks to old beat to heck cherokees.

I don't like their shocks. You are going to hear a lot of bad about them. But they out sell the others 10-1. Considering that, it is what it is. A lower cost lift.

If you are looking for a cheap lift that will work, it's fine. If you want the best quality, it's not going to be rc.

I have had a number of these parts on my Cherokee for the past few years; coil springs, upper control arms, track bar and shocks. I agree with what holycaveman says and would add that I like RC products but you get what you pay for. It really comes down to your budget and type of abuse your going to put your Cherokee through. Mine is not a DD and if I'm lucky a once a month weekend off roader. Like holycaveman says, there shocks are not great but they do there thing. Good luck and have fun.

Thanks guys! At this point that's pushing my budget but I decided to go with full leaf packs. Plus... RD has a lifetime warranty.. It's my DR as of now anyway. Let's be honest... It's a 95 XJ, it rides rough either way!

Rustys Off Road has much better springs and leafs all American made and prices are good also. I have been running his lifts for over 2 yrs. now most recent a 4 1/2" setup. Spring/Leafs are the major cost of most any entry kit.

I prefer to buy to buy a base kit and then piece it together with higher quality parts like dbl. adj. track bar/ adj. u&l ca's/shocks/SYE/etc. You will end up with a better lift kit than if you went with the one you posted.
