Sorry for the misunderstanding aldaman! That was definitely NOT directed at you. You said nothing idiotic!
It was mostly directed at SuffolkJK. He comes into every thread that mentions RC and starts talking his sh!t and never ran an RC lift in his life. Just ignorant douchebaggery on his part. Plus he then got the OP agreeing that the lift is crappy, when the OP's probs were probably caused by his own ignorance and failure to maintain his rig properly. It's just sad.

.....There's nothing like being in this great forum to hear the pros/cons of different lifts, that way it helps the next person from going thru the same predicament or find a solution for it...

Check your trackbar extension. The screw on end of mine was loose on mine. Also pitman arm going to draglink needed tightening. Those needed to be tightened up on mine. Mine was popping cause extension on trackbar would flex some. Check to make sure the steering stabilizer bracket bolts aren't rubbing the tie rod. I had that happening too. Everytime I rotate my tires I am gonna check bolts.

Thats exactly what was wrong with it to the T. thanks man. i just had the guys at the shop tighten and weld it. They also had to adjust my toe a little bit. I guess this is why i should had invested in a better suspension. lesson learned. 4" EVO package would be nice...
Your Rough Country 4" lift kit may or not be the best or most complete, but most of us operate on a budget and timetable, and that require compromises.
There a strong contingent (me included) that believes that installing your own lift kit is a great learning and satisfying experience.
But in addition to that, I think that it is advisable to take your JK afterwards to a quality offroad shop for a followup checkup of the suspension installation, retorquing and alignment.
A trained eye can spot mistakes and problems much faster than your average do-it-yourselfer and save you a lot of headaches in the process for a modest fee.
It's a good thing the problem was not cam bolts, because all hell would have broken loose on this thread between the supporters and the haters of these bolts.
