Unless you can afford a top of the line kit I doubt you'll be happy.
lol, very true. find a wheeling club in your area, talk to those guys and see what has worked and not worked for them. explore more lift mfg. there are plenty out there.

No no no! Sorry, maybe I wasn't being clear enough. I'm not questioning the OEM components. That was actually more of me trying to question WHY DodgeRam09 and huntergreen were saying that people in the Jeep world say that the RC lifts are known for saggy springs. Actually, I like the fact that it uses the factory springs, both for cost purposes, and the fact that I DO like a lot of the things that Chrysler has done. What they said COULD be taken in a literal sense to mean "the OEM springs will be saggy, since you use them with or without the RC lift." I guess it was my way of questioning WHY the springs sag, since they are the same springs that came on the truck from the factory...

Anybody running the Rancho Quicklift of the Bilstein 5100 kit? If so, what are your experiences with it, and how much did it change the angle of the CV joints?

i didn't say it has saggy springs,just answered a question, but have heard of this problem, i believe, some of there lift kits come with springs to replace oem, i say again, check old man emu lift kits. also find a wheeling club and check out their rigs. the only thing i know about skyjacker lifts is what i saw on the show "trucks" and that it is red. for my jeep and what i was going to do with it, AEV 3.5 lift was perfect for me. a little extra height, and better than stock ride and handling. take your time, shop around do more research and then decide on lift.

Thanks guys, I agree on taking my time and doing the research. This definately will NOT be something I dive into without taking the time and seeing what I think is going to work best for my situation and what my end goal is. We shall see...
