Anyone running new Rough Country 6" lift?

I am still trying to decide if I am going with the Rancho 4" or this new Rough Country 6". These are the only two kits that will work with the offset of my rims. Any info on the Rough Country would help out.

From everything I've read, Rough Country is garbage ie, bolt holes not lining up where they should between crossmember/frame etc. Stuck w/ the Rancho, it is a tried and true kit.

I dont know who AIM is, but Rough Country and Superlift are identical kits. For the pre-97 trucks the parts are identical when laid side by side and the part numbers even match.

That being said, there should be no debate between Rancho and RC. Rancho FTW.

Pretty much sums up my opinion as well.

Out of Rancho, Rough Country, or Tough Country

Id say Rancho

Ive broken all three of these 2 on my Bronco II 1 On my Ranger.

With all the other brands for the 04+ id choose Fabtech or RIZE. From the trucks that i have personally got to crawl under and inspect for myself I think RIZE makes a GREAT product! (the smallest is an 8" though, not a bad thing)

just my .02

i love my rancho, rides awesome damn near stock, 1 piece subrame, pretty easy install (each part was labeled, even the subrame) now personally on my truck i got 5 inches of lift, but mine is an xlt and some guys got exactly 4 inches, but on a fx4 so it depends. Rancho for sure. heres mine on 35's.
