Wow and all this time I thought I was the only one I hope that when I order my lift from them they will replace mine? Is there a possibility we instaled it wrong?

Why did you purchase this? Troubles with the factory one?

Rough Country is known for making some junky stuff. They don't have to improve R&D because people like you are willing to pay a little less to save some $. Seriously, people buy this stuff and complain on this forum ALL the time. Try searching "rough country" and see how many problems people have with their products.

I'm not trying to single you out. But it's just frustrating to see people dissappointed with a product whose manufacturer's quality is obviously sub-par. Do your research! or don't, it's not my money!

Also, no disrespect to RR either. They're obviously not a top-end manufacturer. They're trying to balance on that line between quality and affordability...and because of that, many of their products suffer.

Well the stabilizers weren't cheap they were $80 opposed to $35 elsewhere, and pre-2010 jk factory stabilizers are known to be below par thats why Mopar changed the design hence buying the new one. I personally purchased it because RCs 2.2 is now known as one of the better designs and the stabilizer is very "beefed up." Just wish the mounting points were different.

they do suffer in some areas of quality.. biggest is their instructions.. HORRIBLE.. when i got my spacers i had to get on spidertrax and figure out some stuff.. but i also buy RC because they are close to home.. but also because prices are a litte lower.. kinda.. not that stabalzer.. i payed 120 for the dual set up.. thinking about taking it off.. putting one of their stabalizers in stock position and seeing if it will fit.. if not its comin off because i cant turn in full front end flex without some rubbing.. but i have told them about it.. they have Reps here on the forum... i hope they can read some of this.. not just trashing their products just showing what needs to be tended to..

Well I told them and also informed them of this thread. The thing is mine is the single performance stabilizer and urs is dual but they probably both rub on the drivers side correct? If I can I'll get some pics up later tonite.

Same type situation? And I just never put the Rough Country decal on. Sorry I don't know how to resize but the pics are pretty good from an iPhone in my opinion?!?!?
