how many people out there with RK lift? those with it have you had a-arm contact noise while driving? does your a-arm hit the spring or ball joint boot all full droop if so? i do not plan on doing a clevis lift and from my understanding its really a 2 inch lift, not a 3.5 as advertised......any abnormal noises? if you do not have this kit or no direct contact with this kit please do not post your opinion, i am looking for those that have it. thanks in advance! |

I have a friend with this kit. Her front sagged to essentially stock, and her rear was just an inch or so higher than mine(I'm stock). Ride was nothing to brag about. It seemed similar to stock, which in my opinion is close to garbage after springs get worn. Can't comment on her a-arms or how her shocks dealt with it all, I only rode in it 2 or 3 times tops and on pretty smooth roads. |

08, not sure of the mileage, I wanna say at least 50k miles. She did wheel it with the lift, but I'm not sure of her exact thoughts. Try sending her a message. Her username was DoubleK. I know she hasn't been on much since life has gotten busy, but I can try to make her get on and check her p.ms lol |

I'm at 53k miles and only a little sag in the front. Not a lot in the back. Haven't bothered to measure but I'm switching it out soon. Ride is really really rough. As for the a arm thing almost every lift you get (unless you do some tweaking to find the so-called "sweet spot" on the spring) is going to make that bang noise because the stock a arm wasn't designed to be lifted. You can either learn to live with it, toy with it til you get it, or just buy jeepin by Al's a arms. Sent from my iPhone 5 |

not saying your wrong but how does it feel stiff, usually as it gets worn/broken in it gets squishy. |

But since its not a full spring lift it basically squishes your springs tight so the rides really rough. You feel every single bump and dont even think about going over 3mph over a speed bump. Your head will regret it. |
