Default Rough Country suspension kits

Don't read much about RC shocks and lift kits... What's the general opinion on them?

I had the RC 3.5 inch coils. Sagged so bad in the rear I was sitting almost on the bumpstops. One side was noticeably more saggy than the other. Just replaced all the RC stuff with Rock Krawler, could not be more happy. The RK 3.5 X kit is so sweet!

I've had RC 2.5 coil springs and shocks for several 1,000 miles. So far so good. Better ride than stock. Aftermarket front bumper and winch and no sagging...yet. I'm satisfied.

Been running the 2.5 spring lift since 2008, rides good
mine was from back when they had progressive springs, so the rear did sag after a while
RC replaced them with standard springs, and it has been trouble free
the only thing missing from the kit were rear brake line brackets, $2 @ home depot and all was good

Been there done that !! Imo if you can afford it, buy a better quality and brand.... Before i upgraded to OME i had RC 2.5" coil lift... 4 blown shocks and 2 sets of sagging rear coils in less than a year ...... NO problem at all with the OME in almost 2 years.
