I have the 4" also on my 2 dr. It was a little stiff to start but now rides nice. I can't comment on the 6" but my 4" lift is nice but then again I added Currie adj arms.

I'm running the 2.5" progressive rate coil lift with 2.2 shocks and 1.25" body lift. I really like this combo, you will find the product quality is excellent as well as their customer service. As a JK-Forum member you qualify for a discount. Call Ben @ RC if you have any questions.

I'm also looking into Rough Country lifts. That 2.5" seems to be just what I need as I'm not looking to go wicked tall.

maybe you shouldnt comment then, i think you will find that most people that have RC stuff are very pleased with their products, myself included. they make great stuff at a very fair price. customer service is great as well.

Would be more helpful to link to a post that discusses actual experience I guess.

What would you say the install difficulty was? I heard something about having to relocate the sway bar from the back to the front and getting a new rear swaybar.

Sway bar links. Most, if not all the kits without quick disconnects use the same setup.
This was the first one I did, did it in my garage with no help, so it isn't that hard.

Mine has the plane coil spacers lift and it flexes pretty good. and it rides just like stock.
