I'm researching lifts for my wife's new BS BB. I've seen most of them are spacer lifts. But this particular Rough Country kit actually uses new longer lift struts and longer lift coils with matching shocks instead of spacers. Sounds like a much better option over spacers.
The road overall is very similar to the stock ones... you can tell the difference on bumps... feel even more stable with this kit....
They definitely censor their reviews, if you search many RC parts/kits on google you'll see something along the lines of 9 reviews with a 3.5 star rating in the google search results but then when you go to the site you'll see 4 reviews showing with a 5 star rating. Shady. While I do think this kit is much better than the puck lifts, only time will tell how these components fair over time and I doubt they're really geared towards off-roading, most likely more geared towards a lift with similar road going capabilities and manners.
I completely agree with this, it's just that many people purchase RC products thinking they are designed to take serious off road abuse and for a lot of their products, probably including the strut kit, that's really not the case. They just don't know and it's a you get what you pay for type of scenario.
It'll be much easier to install if doing it yourself plus the front struts are at least slotted for minimal camber adjustment and if you want to return to stock it's a much more simple affair. I'm not sure with durability considering it's made in china and seems very cheap for what it is. You will at least be much less likely to experience noises than you would with a puck type lift kit from RC.
I will be doing the install myself. And I definitely know I don't want the puck style from RC. I'd probably go with the HRG 1.5 if I go the spacer kit route.
