Used RK Lift and Shocks - Questions
There is a guy that is wanting to sell a slightly used RK 2.5 max travel kit with RK RRD shocks. I've got a couple of questions :
1. What is your thoughts on the RK RRD shocks with this kit? Are they real stiff, ride good on road, etc.? Compare to other popular shocks like the Rancho 9000 or the Bilstien 5100 as far as ride, quality, etc.?
2. He does not have the brake lines or the rear track bar bracket. How much would these run me (RK rear track bar bracket and both rear and front brake lines)?
3. If you were to buy the kit as he has it with the RK RRD shocks with the missing brake lines and rear track bar bracket, what do you think would be a fair price? He says that the kit was only wheeled twice and in very good condition. FYI - Rivercity Offroad has this kit with the RK RRD shocks for $1,825 free shipping.
As always, I appreciate your help.

1. I don't know anything about those shocks, I have Bilsteins for my RK 2.5
2. If u have a '12 it '13 u won't need new brake lines. I'm still running the stock ones and I have on shocks for a 4" lift with lots of droop. For the track bar bracket, they can't be too much cuz the ones that bolt onto the axle side from teraflex or EVO are around $115-$130

I'd offer a grand. Get yourself a better rear bracket. Teraflex makes a bolt on with multiple roll center locations.
Those shocks can be valved differently. I've see RK do this for people that did not like the ride. They will be a firmer then something like the 9000.
Brake lines are inexpensive
