I did, but it still didnt make everything level. All the lift kit did was raise the front 4 inches and the rear 4 inches, like it said. The kit never did anything to make up for the fact that the front wasnt level, and i dont think that the front would sit level even without any sagging.
Rough country a good kit, both the rough country and procomp lifts have the same brackets and all, but the procomp brackets are a little better quality (wont rust nearly as quick), and i think that you can have the option of extended radius arms with procomp. All of this and a little more expensive than rough country.

Obviously you have never held a rough country bracket and pro comp bracket in your hands for comparison! They are not the same brackets at all! They do the same thing on the same vehicle but are engineered totally different!
The procomp brackets are bigger and thicker and have extra mounting tabs and stiffener plates.

Hence why pro comp is 1200 and rough country is 600 (for blocks) or 800 ( for new leafs) it alk depends on yoir financial situation

Nobody was talking about cost. He stated that the drop brackets are the same and they are not.
That's it.

Haha calm down guys, what i meant for that was that both brackets were for the same purpose, but like i said procomp is much better quality than rough country, and i would much rather have procomp than rough country, but my wallet doesnt allow for that!
