Default Body lift? Why is that?

Was about to pull the trigger on getting a body lift for the jk. Now I no that a lot of people aren't huge fans of rough country products, but I was looking into the rough country 1.25" body lift for $99. Then I saw that the day star 1" body lift costs $200...... Why is that? Didn't come with anything special! Is it just a crap product???

I've never had a problem running rough country parts on any of my jeeps. If their products were bad or didn't work they wouldn't be in business or you would see people really talking bad about them here.

Spacers are Spacers man, If you were talking about shocks/coils etc. Then I would see where you are coming from in a way, even though I run rough country for almost everything.

I say save the money and enjoy the look of your new body lift!

It's possible one is pucks that go on top of the existing body pucks and the other replaces the existing.

From what I've noticed, the people that bash RC are the ones that are running different lifts. I've had 2.5 spacer lift and am now running 3.5 series II. I've had no problems with my lift and couldn't be happier.
