Pics I posted yesterday were awful quality. These are much better. The JK rides better than stock now. So glad I finally upgraded from the 2.5BB.

I bought the basic RC 4" lift with 2.2 shocks but without control arms. I then bought Rustys control arms, a steering stabilizer, RC quick disconnects. Coils are coils and the shocks are pretty decent. I spent the extra money on all the extras and I'm glad I did. Do not use cam bolts!

Why did you go with the 4" over the 3.5"?
I'm looking at all of these kits right now. From the 3.25 up.
3.5 seems the most complete...I actually talked to someone at RC yesterday and they said the 3.5 is the way to go.
Just wondering what influenced your decision.

BTW
Jeep looks rad.

Thanks

I chose 3.5 since it was the most complete. Happy with it so far. I stalled it back in march

The biggest reason is that I will most likely want to run 37s at some point, which I can do with this lift and maybe some new flares. Plus who doesn't like an extra 1/2" clearance on the trails? My lift is complete as well, I just pieced together the other components needed. Once and done and future proof. (until 40s )

I am surprised you went with the 4 instead of the 3.5 but seems like you did your homework. The rig looks sweeet.

Sweet rig! Now it's begging for bigger shoes!

I have the RC 3.5 series 2 like some of the guys here. For $500 it's amazingly complete. I love mine.

Looks Good! I also chose the 3.5 series II for my '12 jku and am very happy with it, especially for $450. For you guys looking to order one of the R/C kits be sure to call R/C directly and mention that you are a forum member....10% discount. I had many questions for the R/C staff and the were more than happy to help me with all of them - great customer service and very easy to get a hold of!
