What do you think of a rough country longarm upgrade kit?

My dad wants me to know what that longarm kit is like. I think it's a cheap way to get a longarm... http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_689U.html and then when i look at redrider2911's longarm kit... http://naxja.org/forum/showthread.ph...t=redrider2911 it seem's way strong, way better kit in general, but it is a little more expensive.

but if you think about it i think i'm getting a better deal $600+shipping & handling for the rough country kit and installing it myself........ OR pay $1200 for the stronger kit, thinking about $80 in gas back and forth and then getting it installed for $1200+$80 so about $1280 all together.

Let me know what you think i really would like to know what you guys have to say.
 
no that's what i'm going to do to finish it, get either one but idk which one..... i want to not get the rough country longarm lift but my dad just wants to know everyones opinion. i personally want to get redrider's longarm kit
 
I'd vote for the Rough Country kit between the two of those.
 
Personally I wouldn't put a long arm kit on it till you have the rest of the lift on and working. I wouldn't go to 6" of lift either.

IF you are set on a LA kit I would look at T&T (Naxja Sponsor).
Clayton also makes a great LA kit to consider.

Just installed RC's long arm last week, fairly simple install, functions great, oddball size drill bits needed is my only complaint so far lol
 
Thanks for your support guys... what kind of engineering background do you have scott to support your accusations? And saying a 3 link doesnt provide enough support to keep the axle from spinning? I can lock up my 35s on pavement going 35 and have zero issues.
And just so the facts dont get messed up, the 1200 wasnt just for the long arm upgrade, that would be ridiculous. Normally 700 for the long arm, 350 for the crossover steering, and 250 for the upgraded solid adjustable track bar and mounts. Bundled together for 1100 + 100 to help him out with the install. Find a better deal than that.

And this would be the new design that he would be getting

Im sorry man if it seems like i just called you out but you have to realize that when you say something on the internet, even if you state it is just you opinion, lots of people take it as fact. When you are talking about something that a person might be putting under their rig and you say stuff like that, especially without anything concrete to back your "opinion", it can cause damage to peoples reputation. It can even be considered slander.

dər/ Show Spelled[slan-der] Show IPA
–noun 1. defamation; calumny: rumors full of slander.

2. a malicious, false, and defamatory statement or report: a slander against his good name.

3. Law . defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc.

I just dont want my reputation ruined because someone said something that someone else said that someone else heard because they had a feeling or opinion that one of my products werent safe when they looked at some pictures they saw online.
I am not trying to be an a#* and I more than welcome CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, thoughts, and opinions. Just state it as a questions, thought, or opinion open for discussion and not a fact.

EDIT: I dont believe you have the right to complain, As you are trying to compete for business with ACTUAL paying vendors.

You've got your terms screwed up...and the biggest clue is contained within what you posted here.

What's the name of your shop over there? What kind of liability insurance do you carry for your fabrication/manufacturing business?
