ProComp for sure. the rough country kit is absolute crap IMO. the subframe design is way too weak, there is only 1 small brace between it, which has bushings in it. as you know, you don't want the subframe moving EVER, as the rest of the suspension is based off of it. the kicker brace mounting on the rough country is a joke! they use self-tapping screws into the crossmember. trust me, go for the pro comp. i attached a pic of the subframe for you to view. look at the small brace only on 1 side. now image getting in an accident, that is gonna fold right over. yes the diff is there, but still. if i am gonna be modifying the suspension, i sure as hell hope it's gonna be stronger than the stock configuration not weaker. also note in the pic, how the kicker braces attach. i also dislike how the braces are bent, IMO they should be straight, giving you the most rigidity.

ATOM, Pro-comp doesn't even have a brace(s) between the two drop brackets.

I would not put superlift in with those others. They use spacers, and their 6" kit doesn't give you factory angles. Also, their kit doesn't even come with those kicker braces at all.

Hell with it... i waited a year to put a lift on. I guess i can wait a couple more months and just get a 6" fabtech.

Thanks for your help every one.

Chaos, gop ahead and get the pro-comp. Thousands of people have that lift, probably more so than any other lift. I've never heard of anything seriously going wrong with it. It may not be the highest quality, but it'l get the job done and give you the look you want. And since you said its a street queen and you dont beat on it, than you should be perfectly fine with it

I dont see how the procomp is any better than the rough country. At least the rough country has one brace the procomp has none. Plus the rough country doesnt stack blocks.
