Count me in...I NEED a lift, I'm tired of scraping on stuff and this one is easily the most "budget friendly".

I'm particularly interested in whether the front spacer stays put when the wheel is in full-droop position. It's a pressure fit, not a bolt on fit like the rear one.

Also, please indicate if you're running stock shocks or longer ones.
Thanks.

Prior to purchasing any lift you may want to contact the MFR if there were any questions prior to a purchase.

P.S. @ Rough Country they were pretty straight forward with me when I spoke to them, I inquired regarding purchasing a lift to help an X build up , they even offered to donate or even help out on a Jeep build too.

Very nice people.
What would be the difference between this and the teraflex BB? They both use spacers and people wheel offroad with the TF.

The main difference is the teraflex come with bump stop extensions so that you can't stuff the 35's into the fenders as easily as the TC lift which has no bump stop extensions.

I've wheeled mine decently hard and havn't had a problem. I have 33's and the 2.2 shocks. Rides fine and havn't had any problems when I stuff the tire, even with my disco's out.

I'd say just buy the Teraflex if you are going to wheel it. The RC kit is as barebones as you can get and IMO is for street driving at best.
