Default Rough Country 4" X-Series

Is anyone currently running the RC 4" X-Series lift? The actual X-Series that comes with the adjustable f/r upper/lower CA's, front track bar, rear TB relocater, ect.. I have ran the 2.5" spring/shock lift for a while, and it served me VERY well. I have no complaints about it. However, its time to move on to bigger and better things. And since I have had a good run with RC, I'm gonna go again. Anyone here running it? Got any pics, praises, complaints? Not trying to be an ass, but if you havent run it, then I can't honestly take criticism from you seriously. Im not sure why there are so many RC haters. I personally like them. So lets hear it.

2.5" Rough Country x-series kit
SOR tuned
37" Toyos
Excellent flex
this stand is 35" off the ground
RC is scheduled to come out with a long arm kit very soon hopefully sometime mid Dec. I will be upgrading to that with the 2.5" coils and longer Bilstein shocks!

I've run this kit for almost 2 years. It is a good kit. I have swapped the springs out for OME HD coils and the shocks for 5100's. that being said, I am an edge case. My Jeep is heavy. I have a Shockworks stubby front with a Warn PwerPlant 9500 in the front and a Rockhard 4x4 rear. I also tow a M101 that weighs 1300 empty. I have the Teraflex draglink flip and HD frame brace so now my front trackbar hits my diff cover when flexed. Your setups are probably completely different than mine so I will say it again, this is a good kit.

I ran the RC 4in X-Series on my 09 Unlimited up until we just traded it. Only big complaint we had was the coils sagging and the shocked crapped out after about a year. If you load your rig up with gear and have heavy bumpers, expect them to start sagging after a year. When we go out we have about 400-500 lbs of gear from Hi Lift jack to pull pals. Over the year the lift sagged/settled to about 2.75 inchs in the front and 2 inches in the rear.

Overall I was really happy with the lift and value. Keep an eye on the front drive shaft as well. At that height adjusting the front for caster can start to wear the boot when flexing.

After (First few weeks we netted 4.75 inches of lift up front and 4 inches in the rear)

I've had one for a over a year. No complaints. Don't have any trail shots but it does well I think.
