yea well if i would have had the money i may have went with a better one but i didn't have the budget so i went with rough country and like i've said it is just as good as any other lift. If you are not gonna be hard on your truck then more than likely you will not hurt a single part of the lift and not have to use the warranty. All depends on how much cash you want to shell out.

I should have put lol behind that last comment, it was a joke. Looking at both warranties they are pretty much the same neither one covers normal wear and tear. They only cover factory defects. I have talked to a couple of members on here who run the rc lifts and couldn't be happier, but I will definitely talk to my buddy and see if he can get me the bds for around the same price.

I'm looking into the rc lift as well for the wifes 05 in the sig.They actually make the bds about a 1/2 hour away from me at there factory and they sell directly from the local offroad store.They still want $2000 for the basic 6in lift.Thats there best deal so looks like it will be rc for me.

Kicker braces are also called compression struts. They tie the frame into the lowered crossmember. This is necessary and should not even be optional, on road or off.

I agree that you get what you pay for and a higher end kit that comes with everything needed to make the truck perform to it's potential is worth the extra money. You also want to consider the Trail Master kit for that reason.

dont let these people persuade you into paying out the butt for a lift kit when all are basically the same. Unless you wan coilovers go with the RC lift and you will be happy. Everything is built with high quality stuff and built very heavily

Listen to Ibrocun , he kno's his stuff.

I too considered RC/Pro-Comp at one point , but Ibrocun mentioned some things, like new brake lines , new struts and i eventually wound with with BDS

I don't know RC's block size for sure, but I doubt it raises the rear more than 4" either. That way the truck is level. BTW, the TM is under $1600 here http://www.central4wd.com/inventoryd...folder%7C98364

If money is tight, you can do a 3" body lift or 5" premium lift ($519) by Performance Accessories, the same company that makes Trail Master.

That will be huge! Don't forget a set of gap guards to go with the body lift (about $75).
