I am thinking of getting this lift. To those of you that have it what are the pro's and con's to it?
How well has it stood up to the test of time?
Any sagging over time?
Do the shocks come with boots?
I have a Shockworks midwidth and winch should I get 3/4" spacers?
Should I get anything else with it (brake line brackets, stablizer, etc.)

I am staying with 32" tires for now, may go larger when these need replaced

Thanks for you input,

I am also looking at the Cool Tech exhaust. Any thoughts on it?

 

Not sure about all the pro's and con's I have heard good things on the forum - I am getting ready to install mine tomorrow - I am keeping the stock wheels and tires for now, but plan on going to at least 33 or bigger at some point. I spoke with Ben before I ordered mine and it seems like a really complete kit. There are lots of folks on this forum that have it and are really happy with it. I will post some pictures after I get it put on - I am also putting a rugged ridge XHD front bumper on, so I should be able to see any front end sag.

Good luck with your decision.

 

i have ridden about 3000 miles on mine with no problems...easy to put on... an looks great...

 

Here's a pic of mine! I've had it on since September 08 with no problems. It depends on which BB you purchase, one uses factory shocks with extensions (mine), the other comes with the 2.2 RC shock. I didn't see the need in replacing brand new shocks, so I opted for the extensions. I added the RR Modular XHD front bumper and Smittybilt XRC8 winch and the lift has held up fine.

 

He's actually asking about the Coil Lift, not the BB....

Since you're gonna have a heavier front bumper, I would add the 3/4" spacers...at first it would be ok, but after a few weeks the front will settle and you'll wish you had added the spacers...I added brake line drop brackets on the rear of mine, but I also added some extra spacers on the rear so it MAY be alright without those...you can make some yourself for free though so may as well. Shock Boots are not necessary, they'll just trap mud/water/grit and end up screwing up the shock anyway.

The ride is slightly harsher than stock, but still a very nice ride....my only complaint is that it didn't seem to add as much lift as I expected, that's the reason I have 3/4" spacers front and rear on mine.....


STOCK height on the left - RC 2.5" & 3/4" spacers with 33's on the right

 

Mine is level, 37.5 passenger side front and rear, 38 front and rear driver's side (equals out with my fat ass in the seat) measured center of the wheels to the bottom of the fenders
I have the RRC XHD with Pre Runner and XRC8 winch. I have had it on a little over 3 weeks, but did pound it pretty good on some rocks.
I will give it time, if it sags I will put spacers in, but I dod not see the need to do so now

 

I have over 5000 miles on my lift now, and haven't had any problems. It ride's well on and off road. Very good quality and customer service. I've had a few lifts over the years, this is a good choice.

 

Thanks for your replies. keep them coming
I have the RC BB lift and it slants to the front with the bumper and winch. To get away from that, I want to add coils and a small spacer.
If everything goes well, I will have this ordered by the end of the week.

 

that looks like a really nice kit for the money. coils and shocks. can you keep your factory wheels?

 

yes you can with the same tires.
