Rough Country Lifts?

I ordered a 5 inch rough country lift and i was wondering if they were any good. it was cheaper than most of the other brands and i dont do much offroading but im thinking about going with 35 inch trail grapplers. anyone have any pictures of the lift??? thanks

Legorreta has one on his I do believe and as does Alex Laird. And I know there are a couple others and they haven't had any problems. That is the lift I am gonna be ordering here when I get back from my deployment.

Why would you spend all that money on something without knowing whether it was good or not?

Very cool! I have been so lazy, lol. I have my fender flares off and been meaning to paint them, just haven't gotten around to it. They are 94r RBP wheels. I love these wheels but I am beating the hell out of them.. atleast scratch wise going into mud, snow etc but its a truck right? lol. Thanks!

If your only getting the rcx lift because its cheap, I wouldn't recommend my wheels. They aren't cheap at all. RBP sells them for 500 a wheel, ebay is like 250+ a wheel I think?

the wheels are very cool, I love them. In my opinion get a cheaper pair of wheels and get some nitto mud grapplers. They are amazing incubus wheels arent bad as well. Some sick black wheels, or black with chrome
