there are big differences from company to company... can even be a big difference between kits from the same company.

If you let us know what kind of jeep your talking about and what your looking to do we could help alot more

We are running the Rubicon Express Extreme Duty 5.5 inch lift on our 93 XJ. It has rediculous amounts of flex. We have had to cut the fenders back 3-4" in order to stuff the 33's it rides on. It works pretty well with the control arm drop brackets, but if you can afford it, the long arms would have been better. There are several vendors on the board that have some killer prices on RE.

there is a difference in kits. most likely due to material selection and spring rate. RE has a good reputation for a quality spring.

ok, im looking at a 4" lift for my 88 YJ.. the RE is $600, and the cheaper Tough Country is $440.. whats the dif between them? then there is the RE Extreme for $900.. just wondering what the difference is beside "new and improved" for $300 more.
