Pro's
Fabricated rear lift blocks (longer for less axle wrap, adjusts pinion angle)
Brackets fit without modification
New braided front brake lines
Con's
Missing an important and hard to find bolt (M18 x 150mm)
No front compression struts like on PC and Fabtech
Sent me red shock boots instead of black (specified when I ordered)
Drill template not to scale (but it worked, just line up the small hole)
No new crush washers for brake lines
No rear bump stops
UCA contacts strut at full droop (I assume all 6" kits with the spacer do this, made me think twice about adding another 1-2" of lift with Bilsteins)
Instructions say kit was developed with factory 17's and 35-12.50's but I doubt they would fit. My original tires rubbed slightly on the knuckle.
Since I ordered my lift from 4WheelingPlus they have upped the price $200 and it looks like RC added the front compression struts. I guess I'll check with them to see if I need to add the struts.
Rough Country is over nighting the bolt we need, I guess they can't count very well. I'll get some pictures up in the next week or so. Wheels and tires go on Friday if everything goes well.
Overall the kit seems to be pretty similar to the Pro Comp kit but I like the rear blocks better.

Reason: Update
Nothing worse than realizing that something is missing... hopefully it isnt already appart!
quick question though. I started another post looking for some more rear lift(procomp... bah)... So now you have my attention. How tall is your lift block? did you put it ontop of a factory 2" ? and how did it come out overall heightwise? If its all good, then i might as well buy a block thats tapered?! right?
hope you enjoy your lift when its completed. make sure you have a driveshaft spacer, or get it lengthened.
My truck is still on the lift at my buddy's place. The bolt hopefully came in today.
I'm not sure how the lift looks yet, we couldn't set the truck down because we didn't have the front finished. Rough Country calls it a 5" block and they say to remove the factory one. They didn't mention anything about lengthening the drive shaft in the instructions.
Bought my truck w/this kit already installed. Only thing is, it has a little bit of a "bulldog" stance to it. Am going to measure today to see just how far down the rear is compared to the front.
The rear was really easy, probably took us (2 guys) 90 mins. I'd say the front takes 6 to 9 hours. Having already done it i'm guessing we could do the whole lift in about 7 hours if we didn't have any major hang ups.
