RC 3.5" or 4" Lift?
Hey guys, just looking for an opinion from anyone willing to give one. I'm going to buy one of these lifts in the next few weeks and am torn. Is one better than the other? The 3.5 has lower arms and the 4" does not. The 4" has 2.2 shocks and the 3.5 has the N2.0.
I'm just looking for the best bang for the buck. I realize there are more "ideal" lifts out there but these lifts fit perfectly into what I want/need/can afford.
Does one lift ride better than the other?
Thanks for the help!

What size tires are u going to run? I have the 3.5 and its a smooth ride and handles great but im running 37s and scrub on tbe inner fenders of my bushwackers when I come off bridges or rough roads due to the back seems to be soft springs

I just had the 3.5" kit put on and I have to say it runs better than stock. I have heard the 4" kit always has problems with the steering being flighty at highway speeds due to the geometry being off. I got 4" out of mine in the front and 5" in the back. I'm really considering 37's there is so much room. Gl with your build.

i was just looking on their site at the sales too and was tossing back and forth between the 2 lifts.
I was thinking in my head that the 3.5 was the better lift because of the control arms and shocks also.
Looks like I'll be getting that one. Thanks for responses to the OP
