Rock Krawler lift kit :lol: :lol: :lol: better do some reading on here,
they are a crap company,
no customer service,
their lift was junk, the white one shown was only used for what was it Sirus radio advertisements/ show only, no off roading ,
ones that were bought and tried to be used off road were a ton of trouble for the owners

take a few minutes and look at the upper control arm /upper part of the spindle area, would you really trust something that looks like that.

There's 1 kit that was known to work - and the amount of extra work was significant.
but hey - it looks great.

It had so much potential its not funny. If they wouldnt of screwed up the knuckle it might of worked out ok. Maybe even made it so a stronger diff could of been used to solve one of the biggest issues. Liberator? maybe someday..

If you compare the upper "A" arm to a JBA a arm that I seem to have seen failure pictures of on this site. Its at least 1/4" plate doubled with a web has a real coil over setup.....Hmmmmmm So who had the problems with the RC lift?

A few people bought and had tons of problems with it, then the company would say that the customer used the product in some kind of wrong way, its a bad set up from the get go. fireblade I think was one of them , there are a TON of posts with the problems he and others had.

simply put JUNK LIFT
should be end of discussion just read everything from back 3 years ago

Burnsville Off Road has a decent rep. Why would they attach themselves to this trash? :?

That arm does look solid and greasable. You probaly wouldn't have to many issues with that thing.

Assuming the stock geometry is unchanged, there would be no problem aligning that thing. In fact, it would be harder to get camber/caster in spec on a Frankie'd KJ than on that Jeep. You still have the cam bolts on the LCAs, and the tie rods are still adjustable...so ThunderbirdJunkie sees no issue on that end.

On another note

WTF? What drug-induced chimpanzee's dream was THAT? Whatever they were smoking, ThunderbirdJunkie wants some

ThunderbirdJunkie would be impressed with that flex pic if there was any flex in the front, and the Jeep was about 2 or 3 more feet forward :lol:
