I have put about 3000 miles on my RC lift and went offroading once so far. I was impressed for the cost of the lift. It works great for those without large pockets. Im running 305/70/17 with no spacers and it works great. I am running the rear track bar bracket. if your looking for a decenct quick disconnect I also got that through RC and havent had any problems.

I am interested in the disconnect. It's on my list of wants for this Jeep. Thanks for the info.

Mine is doing well at about 4000 miles. I'm still glad I went with the RC.

how much lift did you get?
also have your driveshafts been fine?

really want a coil lift but am afraid of it lifting way more then 2.5" and running into driveshaft issues.....its my dd so reliability is key, my mustang is the toy that can be out of comision if need be.....

Mine is the 2.5 spring lift with 2.2 shocks. No drive shaft issues at that height. Brake line extension or relocation is the only "extra" I've noticed my Jeep needed with this lift.

So did you extend or relocate the brake lines?
The RC PDF install instructions mentions unbolting them when taking the oem coils & shocks out but does not mention anything else as far as bolting them back in when putting in the new RC coils & shocks.

Also
I'm not completely tuned in about the track bracket option. If you don't buy it, will you eat universal joints or something?

I have the same lift! i have about 7000 miles on it now. Still is perfect! I get a whole lot of flex out of this lift! I bought a rear brake line bracket to extend the lines which is nice. I just leave my front swaybars d/c. I'm debating d/c the rear.
