I realize rc isn't great but you can build a.decent.xj on rc stuff. I just bought rc leafs and they were shorter then expected at first but after I bolted em up amd put weight I got a good angle on my shackle they don't ride like a caddy but they flex well and get the job done

Can't complain much for the price but i feel like it should be voiced out.....same issue with their previous flex joint and now they have replaced them with a new version.

I replaced them with OME 3.5" leaf pack and some RE shackles....not really a world of difference but the OME springs are still new tho.
