PSC has great stuff, i have some and will be getting more in the future. Larry is a great guy to deal with and their crew will help you when you have questions. you will not be disappointed

yeah, the TF 2.5" is at the high end of what i want to spend, but i know its reliable and upgradable. While i was not so sure about the RC 3" lift.

..so it seems like the majority is saying i should go with TF 2.5" coil lift w/ shocks > RC 3" coil lift with shocks?

Either would work. RC makes good stuff as well but my experience with RC has been this - when u get a 3" lift, you'll net exactly that - 3". Add any accessories like heavier bumpers, tires or winch and you'll start losing that height. TF gives you more than advertised height to compensate for sag from adds. Plus you could always convert to a TF 2.5" long arm kit in the future for more flex.

Thats why i am wondering if i should go with the RC kit to save a few hundred dollars and keep the money in the bank, or put it to the winch. Tough decision. thats why i need your guy's help!

In may I am buying BFH front bumper w/ trail stinger, BFH rear bumper, winch mount, hawse fairlead, hawse light mount, and 4 shackels all from Poison spyder...so yeah, they will be getting some money from me.
