Default Used Rough Country 4 in lift

Hi all,
I can get a used lift kit who was most of the time daily driving on pave at resonable price. The guy change it for the new 6 inches Rough Country lift... so I want to know if a good idea to buy it second and or should run away from used lift. I will get 1 year warranty with it. I can have it for 1000$ CDN (834$ USD) for the kit, installation/labor and new steering damper.
What price do you thing that worth used? LEt me know what you think!
Thanls in advance!

P.S. I have a '07 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, Auto, 4:10, 17 in stock wheel. stock wheel for now until spring(get 35)

Thanks for your quick answer!

I check for the new and that come to over $700 USD($837 CDN) without tax and custom fee. I live in Canada so exchange, custom, shipping is a factor. That seem the guy sold me kit about 50% (around $335 USD without shipping, tax,ect)
add around $100 for the steering damper and around 500$ CDN($419 USD) for installation/labour.

I know if i pay $500 more I will get a brand new, but does is worth pay 500$ more ? I get the same warranty used.

I really dont know! help!

$500 for labour? Brutal.....that isnt a hard lift to install. you could literally do it in your driveway with a floor jack and jack stands.....

Dude,

for a grand... dont' do it. There is a place in BC that distributes RCX gear and I can buy it from them for 610 CDN. So with shipping it'll still be less then a grand and you can install it yerself.... seriously!

I might try to deal the price with all your comment. Seem to be high for install. Thanks ! Also with 4 in does I have to bother with other issue in short or long term on other part ?
