Default Thoughts on this lift combo?

What is everyones opinion on getting a Rough Country X-Series 4" kit and use TeraFlex 4" springs to clear 37's and for ride comfort any one see any issues with this or have other suggestions. My reasoning is overall cost

I can see the cost issue..

Truthfully the Rough Country kit should be fine.

37's are nice, but to push them hard is another story..

Regarding the TF coils, how mush weight will you be carrying? I have no experience with RC coils, all I know is the TF coils run much higher than stated untill you slap on some extra weight. (bumpers/winch/fenders etc)

There is no comparison in quality of the TF vs the RC kits.

I understand if you are on a budget, but you will get what you pay for.

For sure, TF has a great rep and is why I decided to spend the premium for TF parts.

Money and patience may make you lean the other way.. I always hate waiting to afford the premium stuff but in reality it's worth it.

if i had the money, i would get the teraflex long arm kit, but with the rc kit, for the price, it can't be beat

the ride is actually comparable to stock, and regarding tire size, i will soon have 40's on my jeep,

So did you get the 4" X kit and just have them send you the 6" springs? Did you need any other items that didnt come with the kit?

people are running 37s on 2.5" lift kits, flat fenders and 1" body lifts.
