Default Rough Country Suspension Lift...reliability

I am looking into 4" suspension lifts for my 2010 and am getting a mixed bag about Rough Country Lifts. It seems there are people who are very satisfied with them and some that seem to hate them. I had a Fabtech on my 05 for 5 years with no problems, but the price difference with the RC kit is enough to make me think about them. I am wanting to know how satisfied people are with them after the initial install...2-3 yrs later. Were they hard to keep in alignment?

no issues for me. 1.5 years, 25000km

I'm curious if the people who hate then have ever owned a set. Got any links to unhappy customers?

In the Jeep world, their products are poorly made. I ordered their offset rear lift blocks and their website info is wrong and the guy I talked to was not knowledgeable about their product. Wasted my time and money when I received 5.5" blocks that were not offset.

I have no experience with them personally. However, I have two neighbors with them and both have their trucks sitting in their driveways each with a different part broken. Both have had the kits for about one or two years, both broke them the same weekend, but were not together. I don't really have any other info about it other than one truck is a Nissan and the other a GMC.

Please take this for what it's worth as I mentioned that I have few facts on the situations. Just thought I would share since my only real observations.

Any kit with spacers instead of longer shocks is worth it's weight in poop.
