Default Rough Country leveling kit

Anybody used the Rough Country leveling kit that raises the front 2.5" and the rear 1.5"?
I've been looking to go a little higher than stock, and for $200.00 this kit sounds like a good deal. I was hoping that someonehad experience with it, and could let me know if it was junk or worth the money?

Thanks for the reply.
I have an 06 1500 quad cab 4x4 Hemi Bighorn Edition with 20" wheels.
I am just a little leary being that I haven't found any others (Skyjacker, Rancho, etc.) that are offering the same package. They all have6" kits which are nice, but out of the price range for meright now.

You may also want to look at the Rancho Easy Lift. Almost all of my lifting/leveling experience is on solid front axle or torsion bar 4x4s, but the one coil over IFS I did was using this and I was very impressed with the look and especially the ride quality.
I got involved because a friend got it at a tire store and had them install it. They messed up the install (I still don't know how, because it's simple). After his 2nd trip back complaining of a harsh ride and terrible grinding noise (they ended up telling him it was supposed to be that way), he told me about it and I said I'd take a look.
I ended up taking the passenger side one off and re-installing it and it was fine after that.

It's not as cheap as a simple spacer, but it's basically a new 9 position adjustable shock that re-uses your existing spring & mount. Lifetime warranty and I'm not so sure I trust the cheap poly spacers over time...
