Honestly, not at all, there aren't any parks close by here in east central MO. The most I do are some forestry service roads and some light trails on private property. My Jeep is 90% highway. One day when it's paid off and not a DD, I'll beat on it a little harder.

then im sure your RC kit will last you years without troubles! i feel thats really what there designed for people who do camping and drive around on roads and want more height... but hey we all have our opinions for $500 you cant go wrong if it does what you intend to use it for

That was my reason for going with RC, plus the shop I work at has an account with them so we get all their products at discounted prices. I plan on upgrading eventually, but right now I'm happy with what I have. Eventually it'll be a 44 front end and a more premium suspension system. I plan on having the jeep for a long time, so I'll have time to make it the way I want it.

Yo I got some info for you about that . Had a 3 inch bds, went to a 4.5 after the steel was added it started to lean to the passenger side about an inch, had to remove those springs and installed a 5 inch and I'm sitting on 37's and it's not all that tall, there is a lot on the internet referring to the jk lean it just happens, do some homework before you buy anything if you need anymore info let me know.....my problem is solved though, just remember steering geometry after you go so high at some point it comes into play

But you're a 4dr too. A little longer. I'm gonna go with plush coils but the 4" or 3" not sure yet. I kinda wanna do the 4 but I don't want to be too tall. The 3 looks good but I don't know if it's tall enough you know? What do you think?

C...if your gonna run 37's I suggest you get the 4 it will give more room in the wheel well and beneath the fenders, your gonna need clearance and remember once you add bumpers,skids and so forth those springs are settle down , go with the 4 it will eventually settle and make sure your shocks are long enough, and good luck I have been through 3 lifts a 3...4.5...and now a 5 and it isn't to high and the 37's have plenty of room, give them room bro or they will take your fender with them...and then lots of people say 5:13 gears , ...that's great for the trails but the highway will eat the rear up, find a happy medium

My 4" super lift looks more like 2 inches now, working on replacing my whole life, I've heard evo springs don't sag but who knows

Replacing your whole life because your springs are sagging? Seems a little extreme to me. (Don't ya just love auto correct?)
haha yep, damn Iphone. But I am replacing my entire lift because I hate the whole thing, part of that is the fact that the springs are sagging so much, that and the fact that about every piece of the life it rusted including the springs which just doesnt seem right to me

Saw this guy getting ha at costco when I was In my work truck yesterday
Made me want the 4" so that's what I'm going for haha now gotta pick a long arm kit any suggestions??
almost everyone I have talked to has said stay away from the teraflax as in the last year or so there have been a lot of bushing issues, I have no teraflex parts on my jeep but am under the impression that as they have been getting bigger their quality has been decreasing a bit. Evo is made in the USA and I havent even read 1 bad review, other than a part or two missing from their kits from time to time, so check everything when it comes before you rip your jeep apart

You get what you pay for. :beer:
I payed like 2 grand installed for my lift 3 years ago, now im saving to buy an eve long arm 4 inch lift, its even more expensive if you have to pay for it because you didnt do it right the first time, 2 grand out the window

for what it's worth, you're gonna get what you pay for. The EVO plush rides, ICON Vehicle Dynamics and ( my personal choice) the Synergy progressive rate coils all are cold forged so that they grant the listed amount of height that you're seeking WITH heavily laden armor and bumpers and winches THEN you have the lift amount. I have to admit, they will give a little over advertised lift until you add the heavy stuff. Worth every penny, you will not be dealing with this problem with these manufacturers. Hope this helps.
