Well, I will throw my two cents in.
I HAD that kit on....and I mean Had...

unfortunately, in my opinion, you get what you pay for. It may be cheaper than any otehr kit out there, but does not mena it is worth it...

On two seperate occaisions, I snapped a front leaf spring and a rear leaf spring. Now have skyjackers instead, and am much happier.
The kit from rough country was nice and cheap...but...it brokw, so i spent mroe in the long run.

Here is the catch though, I offroad, I offroad often,a nd hard. if you ar elooking for looks, on road, and not really hitting the traisl with it, you will be fine. But if you are looking to put a punish on it, and want it to stand up to a lot, go with something better, you will be happier in the long run. Broken leaf springs are no fun.

The fornt one snapped when I was in a river, and I mean snapper! (broke in half completely) stuffed the wheel, tore up the inner fender, shredded the tire, ripped the break line, tire up the wheel hub and bearings...and ended up costing a lot mroe to fix than I woudl have liked..

Got it love it and have had no and I mean no trouble with it. I guess I am not as hard core as pezzo cause I cant seem to break anything on my lift. I am not what you call a "hard 4 wheeler" I guess cause I am very careful on and off the road. I do the 10 mile an hour crawl over the trails I ride nearly daily and have nothing bad to say about this lift. So think are you planing to punish you jeep or ride with ez. I am not saying it is the top shelf lift in the world but it sure is good on my jeep. This seems to be the ceapest place going to buy the lift http://www.followmyrutz.com/catalog/default.php Good luck in what ever you buy. Had I had the money I would be riding on a Rubicon Express lift. Tug
