Price: $399.00
Pros: Very easy to follow instructions
Cons: reuse most stock hardward, Driveline vibrations after install
Recommended? Yes

Comments: If you are planning to install this kit, give yourself more than the 2-3 hour install time, alot more. Be more prepared, rent a spring compressor, order new cam bolts, and use wd-40 or PB blaster on everything you will need to take part. Really the kit is not that bad to install, it is just removing the old parts that takes time. Then again this is to be expected on a 17yr old Jeep. I have some driveline vibration now, I will update this when I get that worked out

Price: $350.00
Pros: Good quality, nice parts, super service.
Cons: Light on hardware and instructions. Could use better photos.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Shops fast, parts are decent quality, great for the money. Dont get much hardware, it would be nice to at least get nuts for the tops of shocks and things like that, where you know you are going to destroy the old stock pulling out control arm bolts especially). Customer support is helpful on any questions, I've chatted with them a few times.

Price: $255.95
Pros: fast shipping
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: It wasn't as easy as the instructions described. (What is though?) I ended up making my own leaf packs for the rear so I just used the shocks and coils. Over all its stiff and works great off road. Would reccomend an allignment after lifting...

Comments: I love my RC lift this is the third one I have installed and have had little to no issues with all my lifts from them. Their customer service is unbeatable and their prices are very competative. I would definitely recommend RC products to anyone.

Price: $460.00
Pros: love the stance, great flex
Cons: look a couple tries for them to send me the clamps
Recommended? Yes

Comments: this is an excellent starter lift kit for any first time jeep owner. easy to install, and looks and rides great. I do recommend getting RC's wheel spacers to widen the stance of your jeep to account for this lift. all in all, great inexpensive lift($460 shipped to my door)

Price: $250.00
Pros: rides smooth
Cons: took awhile to install :(
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Took awhile to install because it was my first install. but overall it was worth it. it makes huge difference in ride height, for bigger wheels, rides smoother then the stock suspension and it does flex!

Price: $550.00
Pros: Very nice quality. So far, no need for Transfer case drop kit.
Cons: Does not come wit every single brand new bolt. one of the U-Bolts they sent me had thread damage.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Its the perfect size lift for someone who needs to replace an old worn suspension and doesn't want to deal with much, my rear leafs were sagging 3".
Its about the same price as stock replacement size parts. so its totally worth it.

Pros: great lift kit quality parts
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: its a great kit for the price, many parts that rustys didnt have come with this kit. i got the nitro shocks and the bigger stabilizer. you will need a trac bar no doubt about it and i also did the steering box brace for good measure.
great flex and clearance, i follow my friend through almost everything he does and hes got a 8 inch rustys long arm with 35s and arb lockers

Cons: none so far
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have had mine for about 5 months now and so far I haven ot had any major issues. It is by far worth the price, I have an add a leaf right now and I think that I would prefered a complete leaf but its not that bad.

Price: $450.00
Pros: full leaf packs and good price
Cons: none so far, few shipping errors
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I got a great price for a kit wil full leafs. I paid 450 shipped! I let them keep their shocks however which may have helped the price as I had a set of high end shocks that would fit already.

They sent me f-250 leaf springs by mistake, one phone call and it was corrected and they let me keep the ford springs! I should be able to get $100 bucks for them no problem.
They sent me the wrong u-bolts as well I just ran out and bought them myself.
Good customer service, they answer the phone right away and email you back literally in minutes.
I got 4" in the front and 2 3/4 in the rear. I will even it out with shackles.
Using Edelbrock Extreme IAS shocks this lift rid rides like a cadilac compared to my old stock setup.
