Default Rough Country SYE any good?

I know RC gets no love when it comes to suspension components, but does anyone have any thoughts on their SYE? I see mostly good reviews, but definitely a couple complaints about loose yoke fit, and some about leaky seals. I try not to judge anything from google reviews, figured I’d ask around here.

Based on my little research... they all look/appear the same with the exception of JB conversions. I just installed the JB conversions SYE and would say it is worth even more than they charge (blasphemy, I know). Everything is top notch quality for something I could never make myself.

yeah that’s about what I’ve heard as well. I’ve seen a couple bad reviews mentioning leaky seals or off-center yokes, but I think most people are getting good results from them. I have a chance to buy one new for about $150 locally, so I’m tempted to pull the trigger.

Rough Country has apparently stepped up their game when it comes to quality. I watched a YT video made by Custom Offsets and they talk about that... how they used to make garbage, but have apparently realized they need to step it up if they want to compete. They may not have the best parts in every aspect or area, but they have started making better parts.

If you google search "Rough Country suspension", 2 of the first 4 videos that pop up are from Custom Offsets talking about RC suspension. maybe they can shed some light on how we feel about RC....
