I've heard that RC springs tend to sag after awhile with weight on the front end (heavier bumper/winch/etc)

I believe the sagging issue was resolved. They went with a different steel vendor. ( or so I was told) I think this started with leaf springs. I had a old yj with leaf springs and they replaced them. This was 2 or 3 years ago. They have great coustomer service. If you have a problem they will take care of it. Call and talk to them. Ask them about the sagging issue.

I have the 2.5 rc and love it. They also warranty your suspension so if it sags they will replace it.

You could always jump on the Rancho 4" sport lift. I dont know what your goals are, but if you see 35's in your future the Sport lift is affordable and performs flawlessly.
