Wow. Looks like this lift, or any lift from RC is off the list. Incomplete kits, sagging springs, other parts breaking, having to replace everything within a short period of time. No thanks. Guess I'll save up for a different brand. I truely appreciate the feedback from everyone so far.

This will be the same with the many other low priced lifts out there. If a kit has a drop pitman arm used to correct the front steering or drop track bar brackets just move on to your next selection.
I would encourage you to read the link in my signature as well just to educate yourself on lifts for the JK

I have read your post, and thank you for providing it. A lot of good info there. I'm just really getting started on looking at lifts, and hadn't seen a lot on the one from my original post. Now I know why. Thanks again for the feedback. And I will stay away from asking you which brand is best for MY Jeep.... lol.

I had the 4 inch kit but I bought the front LCA's to go with instead of using the cam-bolts. It rode like a steel tired wagon. Not sure if it was the shocks or the springs. I am now running an AEV 3.5 inch kit with Bilstien 5100's and I am much happier. With the RC kit I was into it for almost $900 byt the time I purchased what I needed. Spend a little more money and get something better so you don't regret it. I would personally go with a Rock Krawler 2.5 inch kit if I had it to do over. Get some good shocks too.

I have had the 2 door kit installed for a year and a half now. There is a slight sag but it's not that bad. If you spend a little more and get some nice shocks instead of the crappy rc ones the ride quality will be way better.
