any one here are running RCX lift kits 4 or 6 inch. i hear lots of bad things about this lift but all not real rough country users.
i need a review of guys that has used the kit and how good it is on road or offroad .
thanx .

 

I don't have any first hand experience with this kit, but I know their Jeep kits in general are regarded as pretty low end. I personally know guys with their lifts on Jeeps who experienced some pretty bad coil sag not long after install. Chinese made coils, at least in their Jeep kits. I would assume that would hold true for all their kits.

 

my brother bought one of their more expensive, fully adjustable, kits for his keep. the kit alone was close to 2 grand. He is now ready to get rid of the jeep for a car, because the thing handles, drives, rides, sounds like $h!t. I have ridden in it and driven it, and it sounds like its about to fall apart.

However, I had the 3" lift on my 3rd gen 2wd, and it rode better with that lift on their than it did stock.

Personally, I would call top gun customz to get some info on kits, they have put some serious R&D into everything, and have parts fixing problems people have been complaining about for years.

 

well i think TDTIPMO could chime in here seeing as he has the rough country lift and he told me its not a bad kit if i remember right

 

I think the key is RC on a 4th Gen, not a jeep, the kit for the ram has no coils, I have looked at the kit and others and they are all pretty much the same besides some actually offereing you coil springs instead of spacers and also proper strut set as well for more money, but these other kits also use the same spacers, diff drop set up as well. I know there are a few owners and I know dodge dealers are offering brand new rams with the RC kits as well, gonna go and test drive one at University Dodge if its still there to get a first hand opinion.

I am also interested in owners opinions from the 4th gen model.

 

I have the 4" on mine. We installed it in May. I have to say, knock on wood, that I have absolutely no complaints. We drove it to Disney Land (about 2400 miles round trip) this summer. My wife even drove it through the mountains. With the lift and 35" tires the truck rides almost like stock. Having said that, I did it for aesthetics, not for off road use.

 

thank you guys , RCX seems a good option tell now

 

I installed a 4" RC lift and 35" Nitto Terra Grapplers in late October. I haven't had any problems with it as of yet. I do have a slight vibration in 'er when doing 70-75mph, not sure if it's the lift, tires or wheel balancing?? I take it in later this month for a once-over to make sure everything is still fine. I've had it off road, nothing too major - just some logging roads, and it's held up. I needed the extra clearance to get up and down the mountain. My mileage took a real $h!t though, but I pretty much expected that. 14 on the hwy and 11 around town. Another heads up is that it's also a leveling kit. I think it's really 4" up front and like 2 1/2" in the back. I did 1/4" spacers up front and have some rubbing in the back so I'll be doing some spacers back there too. Also hauled a ton of wood pellets with it ... really pushed the bed down, but it popped right back up when I unloaded her.

I'm sure it's not the best thing out there, but the price was right and seemed to be enough for what I need.

Just my 2 cents.

 

well to be honest , I wish I can get the mopar kit or something more better but the prices are very high comparing with the RCX . the money will not go only to the kit also for the long shipping as am over sea's . and the installing. I may go with the lift and buy latter on better shocks to make it a better lift . buy i have leveling kit now , should I take them off when I get the lift or leave it to give it more clearance ?

 

I am having the 4" BDS kit with added dual steering stabilisers and fox 2.0 rear shock installed for $2500 including alignment and excl tax. I figured that was a reasonable deal as I dont have the time nor the ability to install it myself.
