How long ago did u hav rc? Was the aal too short or full set?

 

I put a RC 4" on my brother's 93 ZJ, it rode considerably better then stock. His Jeep was definitely not a off road toy, only wheeling it did was go on the beach a couple times. It also had 2" coil spacers at all 4 corners, had 33x12.50s on 15x8 Soft 8s. Had no issues getting it to align, and like said road manners were definitely better then stock. I honestly don't have any experience with RC products on anything else, I've got a RC track bar on mine but the springs and CAD brackets are RE, but I can say that I liked everything about the RC kit on my brother's as a DD/mild weekend wheeler.

 

i have a 3" RC lift. it's a fine lift for what it is and for the price. i have the series II with the lower control arms and new leaf springs.

 

So what I'm getting from all the input is if your on a budget go rc if money is no issue go re, just trying to clarify cuz I'm actually in the same boat as OP.

 

RC is a good budget lift, that is correct.

 

I really dont think u will be disappointed.

 

Semi off topic but still about lifts, what would be good tires for street and off road?

 

RC is the company that sells the most inexpensive lift kits. it's just like buying the cheapest beer on the shelf. it gets the job done but not everyone can put up with way it tastes.

 

That's a pretty good way to put it imo, RC isn't gonna be as good at some more technical wheeling as some of the more pricey lifts, but for an all around budget setup it'll be just fine imo.

 

that's not fair to say when you dont include the fact that you're running drop brackets, shackle relocation, full chevy leaf packs, and bilsteins to top it all off. you've put a couple hundred in add-ons to your lift of course it's going to perform and ride way better than an out-of-the-box RC kit

 

I have the RC 3" with full leaf pack and it came w/ the n2.0 shocks. purchased last feb. Installed by myself. No issues. Rides smooth on and off road. Has been durable wheelin.

 

Best way to be put. None of my friends have had complaints. Rides rough but lasts a while. My money was tight when I got my lift so I went with RC shocks blocks and coil spacers. Cost me $150 and it doesn't ride bad at all and I fit 31s. But honestly.if ur gonna wheel, be patient.. save your money and gget a rusty's 4.5".. then u can fit 33s anand that will gget u thru pretty much everything. Get some skid plates and some tow hooks and a descent lift. You'll be fine. Just my 10 cents!

 

I wasn't aware that performance was the issue being discussed here I thought quality was.
My bad.
And yes I am running drop brackets, but look at it this way, no budget short arm lift is going to ride nice no matter what brand it is.

 

sorry. should've just quoted this part of your comment. people bash RC because it's low quality. you were defending it as decent quality stuff but you also have a ton of add-ons. I didn't want someone to read your comment and think "oh I can wheel the **** out of it like this guy." when really their lift wont be the same as yours at all.

 

Yeah I see your point, all I was getting at was that for what the OP is thinking of buying (AAL, shocks, coils.) buying higher priced brands won't really help make it ride "nice". And as far as quality is concerned does RC stuff tend to fail/breakage more so than other brands?
To the OP: fyi, "Nitro" shocks are a stiffer feel than the reg fluid ones.
Just so you know. Good luck!
