Default Rough Country lifts

found a pretty good deal on a rough country 6", just wondering if anyone has run this lift or any rough country lift? pros/cons is rough country a solid lift or a cheap knock off?

I can't vouch for the 6" kit in particular, but the 2.5" coil kit I just installed is well engineered, and the 2.2 shocks ride great. They are plenty beefy as well. Rough contry has been in the suspension business for a few decades now, since the 80's.

I just put the 4" on and its great. I believe the 6" RC is a 4" is coils shocks and arms plus a 2" body lift to get to 6". You're really getting a 4" suspension lift a 2" body lift. I'm running 35s on the 4" and there's plenty of room. Don't think I could fit 37s though. Maybe on the 6".

I have heard they don't flex well, ride poorly, and the kit is incomplete. I have no personal experience with it though.

Running the 4" lift on my 2 door and really like it. Ride is good and components are well built. I had a 4" on my TJ as well. Never had a problem.

I have the 4" w/ arms. Rides well, maybe better than stock, flex has not been an issue. My kit was complete. So far it has been a great kit at a great price.
