Okay, I have run RK products on several vehicles in the past and have never been disappointed in their craftsmanship or customer service. However, I was a little apprehensive at pulling the trigger on this relatively new coil-over system released by RK a few months back. I have not been able to find much information with regard to this setup and, it seems, no one has posted the results of an install. The new coil-overs are made in-house by RK, which is a bit of a gamble. Regardless, I put down the cash and am awaiting delivery. I have a great deal of faith in RK. We will see what happens. Wish us luck!

Keep us posted, I've been going back and forth between EVO coilovers and the RK. I've also run RK on my last two Jeeps and have had 0 complaints, so I hope the coilovers follow suit! Let me know how yours goes and maybe I'll take the leap next!

I will let you know how it goes. I checked with EVO and Rebel, both high quality products, but the cost comparison was not even close. Cost wasn't the primary concern. I am the type who is always looking to go a different route than the norm. RK has always been good to me, so I figured I would give them a shot. Their lift was a no-brainer; my concern is with the coil overs.

Assuming their Coilovers are the same as their RRD 2.0 shocks, they're good to go. RK stands behind their shocks in the event of a problem and have treated me fairly. I wouldn't worry.

Thanks Steve. That has been my experience with RK and their products as well, but never had any of the shocks. I am confident they will stand behind anything they produce.

I just looked at the price on this kit. Are you guys serious??? And 12" front/10" rear travel? What exactly is attractive about the kit relative to one of their $1500 kits and other than coilovers?

I think evo run the same small shocks on there bolt on kit. Not sure on rebels. Thats another reason to hate on "bolt on coilovers" sure the rk is at least not bolt on but damn that price tag if you diy could cover damn near a full build of d60s and coilovers..
