Default Rough Country 6" Lift?

I currently have a 2" BB with a 1" body lift mated with 35x10.5x16 SSR Swampers. I want to upgrade lifts to get a little more clearance.

I'm interested in the Rough Country 6" lift. Are there any experiences on here with this new lift? I like how it comes with the Tom Woods driveshafts and dual steering stabilizers as a kit all from RC.

Any good alternatives in this price range?

Also, my JK is my daily driver. How does this lift do in the highway? Right now I'm swapping around between the stock Rubicon tires and my 35s, but will sell the rubicon wheels if I upgrade lifts.

Thanks!

Why is that important? What would the RC one lack with the non-adjustable arms?

i think this kit looks great, it comes with front and rear extended driveshafts and the new 2.2 shocks and duel front stabilizer shocks and everything else. but my problem is why is it so inexpensive? anyone? its only $2100 for the whole entire kit? doesnt that make someone else wonder why its so cheap? does anyone have this kit yet? if so, does it work well?

I think what he's trying to say is that a 6" of lift you really need something with adjustable arms, not only for pinion angle, but also for castor adjustment. Otherwise You'll have problems.

My question is in addition to the original one. Why would they make the kit if it needed other parts not included? Skyjackers la 6" kit does not have adj ca either. Is that why they are that much cheaper?

What is a good all inclusive kit for 6" of lift?

For this Rough Country kit what parts would need to be replaced on it?
