Has anyone had any recent experience with their coil springs and/or leafs. I read that they were softer than most others. Im just concerned with them being too soft and sagging prematurely. I know their older stuff had a reputation for sagging. I searched and couldnt find anything on their newer springs.

I'm very happy with the 6.5" coils but have no long term experience.
I bought mine direct from RK.
Very easy to deal with.

what happened?
az4wheeler2002 said:
I bought a set of wheels and tires from them, and when I did I went in and ordered them early on a Friday. I was told that they would be ready at 3:30 for me to pickup. When I showed up, no wheels and tires. I ended up waiting in the shop for about an hour-hour and an half while the guy behind the counter watched a movie and ate pizza. When the tires and wheels finally show up, I was loading them into the back of my Jeep and realized that only 1 of the 4 tires I bought was balanced. The guy said "just bring them back next week." This was not an option for me as I live way on the other side of town, and considering I had just given them 900 dollars I was less than happy to hear that. I ended up making some kid that works there take them in the back and balace them. It ended up being way more of a hassle than it had to be and they weren't the least bit apoligetic about it. I probably would have been better off with no weights on them anyway, because the tires were totally out of balance even after the kid balanced them. Sorry for the novel, but that's my first and last experience with them.

I have their long arms on the way but it will most likely be another week or two before they go on.

Yes you would. And you don't need 8" for 35's... they just want you to buy the bigger lift... 5.5" is plenty for 35's. With those 8", you might as well go bigger.rupert said:
well at the time i bought the kit , i only knew one guy that was running it , and he said he rubbed on 35s , and going by him and what the website said i figured i needed the 8 , but if i do have the room maybe i will build some axles next winter and go bigger i have no problems with that , but i will post some pics when i get it and have it in ,xjj33p3r said:

Ive asked this question before, but not on this forum and wasnt sure how to take the responses.

this is my opinion i guess you can take it for what its worth
I currently have parts of the re4.5 kit left on my truck b/c im switching over to all rk products. I purchased my re kit and wasn't to satisfied with it. I wasn't happy with there short arms and the flex that i was getting from there kit. So i ended up purchasing rk's long arm kits and installing it and everything else is history. The quality of rk's parts are top notch and im just over all pleased with there product. The ride with the long amrs is a lot nicer but thats expected. From the people i talk to i've heard nothing but good about rk, but for the most part i havn't heard anything negative about re. In my opinion depending on your needs you really can't go wrong with either company. If your going to wheel your truck really hard though i would suggest rk just b/c i love there long arms that much.

what about prior reputation for less than top notch quality?
im just wanting to know if these RK kits are a new line and upgraded from their older stuff.

the easiest way i can put it is like this
Everything you have heard about rk from there gen 1 stuff just forget about it.
First off the company is now under new ownership who redesigned there whole setup and came up with gen II. Gen II is amazing and now they have the x-factor stuff out which is even better.
If you take a snoop around on www.rockkrawler.com you'll see all of there specs. Its pretty heavy duty stuff, i don't think in my personal opinion anyone builds a stronger set of arms.
