Anyone that says a RCX lift is junk can kiss my ***. I've put a beating on mine and nothing has broke, although I've had a bolt come loose that repositions my lower control arm. The RCX with bilsteins is just as good as any other 6 inch kit.

If you have time (alot of time) take a look at our zone 6 inch install guide. Hundreds of pictures of our install on a zone kit. Should help if you have questions on quality or hardware. We will have pictures in about a week of us really putting this kit to the test. Ill probably make a new post once we get those ready.

What the heck I'll chime in. I've researched countless hours and this is my conclusion as well as many others. If you want the BEST all around lift then Rise, BDS, and Fabtech are the best 3 in that order. Now yes, you can make other lifts better by upgrading parts. If ride quality doesn't mean **** to you then RCX is good, BUT if you want a smooth ride then check out the better lifts. However, with that being said you can upgrade shocks on a cheaper lift to make it ride better. Now zone would be my choice if you need a less expensive lift. That's just because zone and BDS are owned by the same Co. The only differences I know of are the crossmember and warranty.

Bud it's all about what you want to do with it and how you want it to look. The front crossmember on BDS, Rise, Fabtech, and Rough country all have a "high clearance" crossmember. Zone and pro comp have a bar that goes across it. I personally like the look of the "high clearance" crossmember. If your going mudding all the time then go with Rise, BDS, Fabtech or procomp. If you are just driving on the road and do little off-roading then go with procomp, zone, or rough country. It's all about features the lifts offer and slight appearance differences. BDS has a hands down no fine print warranty meaning if something on the lift breaks then they send you a replacement for free. I'm not trying to promote one over another I'm just relaying info I know.
