If you want to run 4" of lift and bigger tires, you also need:

1. Aftermarket front driveshaft.
2. Drag link flip kit
3. Some reinforcements to the front axle (gusset, sleeve, outer Cs, and so on).

Don't know much about that suspension. That being said, RC makes good products, but I would still go with a suspension that has Currie Johhny Joints. The RC X-Flex joints are their attempt at johnny joints, but I have heard they are much less durable and a PITA to rebuild. Aside from that--and perhaps the shocks--it seems to have all the bases covered.

What type of wheeling do you plan on? What size tire do you plan on? 4" lifts get quite expensive if you want to do it right.

 

Any suggestions on brands i should look at and do i really need all of that extra stuff i thought it was just a gimmick to get me to buy more stuff from RC lol

 

I mean its my daily driver so im not goin to be beating the hell out of it but i would like to have the option to do so if i wanted to....if that makes sense i could settle for less lift im not set on 4in and im planning on keeping these till they wear down

 

^^ what he said.

 

If you want 35" tires, you can run 2.5 ~ 3" lifts. Inexpensive lifts use only puck spacers between the stock springs and frame. Coil lifts replace the stock springs with longer coils. Go over 3" in lift height and costs add up due to extra items needed to correct geometry and drive train. Also you have to consider what front axel you have. If its not a rubi, you have a Dana 30. This is a concern for gearing if you want larger tires.
Shop around on manufactures too, there are others besides RC.
Another option is a leveling lift ( about 2" puck lift ) with flat fenders ( cut or bought ) and / or 1" body lift.

 

Okay i looked at the puck spacers my price range its between 1,000 and 1500 MAYBE 2gs but i don't wanna spend more than that plus my shock are getting close to needing replacement any way so id rather do the whole thing at once

 

take a look at the RK 2.5 max travel or teraflex imo both companies have kits you can build up from without buying an entire new kit when/if you go bigger\

 

I jabber the 2.5" TF coil lift kit plus a 1.25" or 1.5" body lift and run 35"s. I have tight about the 4" coils but don't want to sirens the money on a new drive shaft
