Lca's were a necessity for me with this kit, driving without was scary. But other than that and their crappy quick disconnects in very happy with the kit.

Thought I would chime back in. So far great ride and everything is good. I asked earlier about switching out to the new bolts and if it would fit. Didn't get an answer so went ahead and did it. Here is what I've found.

Most of the newer bigger bolts fit the RC kit. The only one that didn't fit was the frame mount bolt on the adjustable track bar (not really part of the standard kit but I have it so thought I would report). The bolt on the Axel side fit extremely snug but it did fit.

Looking at this lift as well. But I have an automatic. Rough country warns about the drive shaft coming in contact with the automatic transmission pan. Has anyone had that happen to them?

I believe that will only happen if the front sway bar is disconnected and you're at full flex
Ive had the jeep flexed pretty good and had no contact between the DS and tranny pan lip. i wasnt disco'd tho

It wont / shouldn't happen unless you are flexing with sway bar disconnected, I tore my boot on my front driveshaft.

Im looking at purchasing this kit next week. Can anyone tell me if the LCA's that come with this kit are the same size in length as OEM?
I would think they would be longer but I'm curious.
Im wondering if adjustable LCA's are a must?

The ones that come in the kit are alittle longer than OEMs. To me they need to be alittle longer. I had to eventually order adjustables. Some people do without butane drove waaay better when the adjustables were installed. When you order check and see if RC will cut you a deal on some adjustables when you order. Good luck.
