I have RC lift and it blows, the shock are crap and the springs are sagging aweful.

bds
i had a pieced together bds lift. went that direction due to a buddy being a bds dealer. it was good still running bds control arms and trackbars no complaints. i thought the springs rode rough so i switched them out with aev 3.5 coils didnt help so i replaced the shocks with fox 2.0 and it was like a new jeep so the springs prob rode fine but the shocks sucked. so go bds but get some fox or old man emu shocks and youll love it. the 3" bds springs were true 3" springs the 3.5 aev sat at about 4.5
