I really like my OME lift with HD springs and long travel shocks. Ive had both regular duty springs on my old jeep and Heavy duty on this one. I admit that regular duty rides better than HD but they both have a better ride than stock.
North ridge 4X4 have a pkg deal with track bars. I added extended brake lines, spring retainers and a 1 inch body lift.
Here's mine with 315/70r17 duratracs

I think for your DD/ light wheeling needs the RC is the way to go. I have ordered but not installed the RC 2.5 coil kit with adj front track bar and rear track bar bracket and single stab. The peice did start to add up but I really feel it will be a long term kit.

One is a real lift and one is a show lift. If your going to use it there is no real choice to be made, if it's just for looks then save the money. As usual you get what you pay for.

I have the rough country 2.5" and I've done some decent rock crawling in Arizona, broken arrow, back road to crown king, etc and it has stood up just fine. I also have found it to be a better ride than stock on a daily basis.

OME is great. The ride is way better than stock and I recommed their kit. The olds adage that you get what you pay for rings true with the OME 2" lift (which yields more like 3" - 3 1/2"). Bought mine through Northridge with the front and rear track bars.

Whats not "real" about the RC kit? Your comment makes no sence and is backed up with no evidence so it just makes you look stupid.

The OME HD is only needed if u are adding weight to your jeep. It would ride rough without the weight. I love my OME lift but get the right one if that is your choice. I have no input on the other lift.

Three jeeps with RC lifts. I recommend them to everyone that asks. Very good quality and easy to install.
