99 lift kits, one piece or two piece subframes

Which is preferable? I've been wanting to lift for years, and am still window shopping. The Rancho has a 1 piece subframe, where as the RCX lift has a 2 piece. Very little real off roading, more for appearance.

I looked through the suspension lift do's and don'ts, and I know that most seem to be 2 piece subframes. Is that a concern for me at all?

Yea I doubt you'd really see any difference performance wise between the two especially on truck that's mainly gonna be a street queen.

50% of my purchase decision on going Rancho was the one piece subframe. Logically seems to me it would only increase rigidity and I couldn't be happier. My truck handled and felt tighter and more solid feel overall after the lift than it ever did stock or brand new.

I love my RCX, the 2 piece makes for an easier installation in my opinion....ive offroaded a little...and ive never had any problems in like 3 years since installation and ive never touched it since then...
