Default RC long arm upgrade

Anyone running these arms? I know people are gonna trash RC but I'd rather hear from people who have this kit. I've been looking to upgrade to a long arm kit and the price on this kit makes it tempting. I haven't seen any other long arm kits use radius arms front and rear.

My buddy had a rc kit. It worked great. Just make sure that all items are included when comparing prices. Rc are famous for excluding certain important items needed to complete your system to keep the price in the magazines down. Quality wise they are good.

Long arm upgrade specifically? I already have aev 4.5" lift that handles great and performs well. I'm just looking for the long arms

I don't have this kit, but I had a 4.5" kit on my XJ and the 3.25" on my JK. Both have been excellent and their customer service is second to none!

If you have the AEV already, I would not mess with it. or take it all off and get a full blown long arm kit installed. after seeing the aev lift in action, its one of the best all round lifts available.

Aaaahh its ok. I've squeezed all the travel I can out of this kit. Ill admit it performs well but not great. I've wheeled the sh!+ out of it and a lot of the complaints I've heard about are indeed false but its definitely not a GREAT kit. I love the coils and I've done my homework. Will definitely be going long arm just looking for an opinion on the RC radius arms. Thank you though
