Spoke with Dave from Zone today and they do offer a lifetime warranty on the kit aside from bushings and shocks

Yeah, I have to take all the bad reviews with a grain of salt. For the few bad reviews I've read, I've read hundreds of great reviews on them. And not just RC, that seems to be the case with everything that has a review done on it. I can't wait to get the lift on it, I was like a kid at Christmas yesterday when the UPS guy pulled up. I think I may have even given him a hug, haha. I'm waiting til I figure out which wheels and tires I want to get before I install. Don't want it to look like poo with the stock wheels and tires. I'll be posting pictures when I get it done of course.

I could say this is true. Money isn't the issue here with me, but more the fact that I can't justify spending 2k+ on a lift (Mopar/Superlift) when I'm not going to be doing any hardcore wheeling. I'm doing the lift more for the look aspect of the truck. I like the look of a lifted truck with big tires on it. Yes, I'm going to drive it on the trails when I go deer hunting, yes, I'm going to take it to the sand dunes, yes, there will be some minor mudholes I will hit, but that is all what I would consider very low end compared to what some others use their rigs for. I think for what my goals are, the RC is an excellent choice. Not that I think it wouldn't hold up to more than what I'm using it for.

Also, sorry to the OP for highjacking your thread, lol.

you might want to check out some jeep forums, that is lift "heaven". if i remember correctly, rc does tend to sag after awhile, don't know why, even on street only jeeps. you might want to check out currie lifts and old man emu. i have aev on my jeep, but i do not believe they make anything for trucks, could be wrong though.

Hunter, I think we had this conversation before, didn't we? Lol. I just don't know why the RC would sag, being that it uses the OEM springs. If it will sag with the lift on, it will sag without it too, so therefore adding the RC isn't the issue. At least that's how I look at it. I guess only time will tell. I'm not sure if the Jeep lifts use all of the same components that the Dodge lift is going to use, so is it going to be really accurate to compare a RC Jeep lift to a RC Dodge Ram lift?

maybe a senior moment, if we had this conversation ignore the rest of this post, just trying to pass on the little bit i know. my off roading consists of getting to some out of the way fishing holes, nothing too dramatic like dedicated off roaders. i only know that rc does sag after awhile and is not well thought of buy jeepers around here. i only wanted a three inch lift, with as close to stock ride as possible. i chose aev. if i were to lift my truck i would go with ome, but my truck is remaining stock. again my choices are always about the best ride and longevity. think about what was said in another post, 3rd gen or was it 2nd gen, sagged, but those trucks are heavier, same lift stock springs, why did it sag. i just hate to pump money into something and have it not work for me and assume most others feel that way. again check out, wrangler forum.com, jeep forum.com and jk forum.com. people there know much more than i do. "do it once and do it right". hope this helps a little.

reread your post, yes jeep can use stock springs with rc lift, as i have never lifted a truck i can't tell you if their lifts are different for trucks. regarless of what you choose, it will look good, hope you will post pics!

And here we continue to hijack this thread, lol. But yes, I will definately post pics, IF I can ever make up my mind on what wheels I want to get. I guess I won't know what's going to happen with this lift until it's been on there for a while, I'm hoping for the best. I hope you don't think I'm being confrontational, that's not at all my intent. I guess for the price I got the lift for, I would have been stupid to pass the deal up.
