I was curious if anyone had this kit and their impression of it. It is a great price but I am worried about bump steer on a kit that tall that doesn't have long arms.

XJ&TJ4ME said:that is the understatment of the year. The drop brackets made me actually like driving my XJ on the road again! Best $200 you can spend for ride quality on kits above 4.5" in my opinion.
XJ&TJ4ME said:I am running the RC 6.5" kit. I have wheeled the piss out of it over the past year and have been very pleased with it, especially for the price. I have ran RE and Rusty's kits on my XJ's as well. For the money it is a good kit, but there are better options out there that will cost you alot more money. My main complaint is the poly bushings and no option for flex joints at this time from RC. I have no issues with bump steer and I recently installed the RC drop brackets and it helped out the ride quality tremendously. The RC shocks are not the best, but they get the job done until your ready to drop more coin on more expensive shocks. One thing that has been mentioned repeatedly around here is the customer service from RC is second to none. GRIMUS99XJ (Jason) is a member on here and is their (RC) customer service rep. He will help you out on package prices/deals and will back his products without major hassles...unless your a royal asshat. So all in all, the kit is worth the $ in my opinion. Is it the best kit available...no, but it IS the best kit for the money in my opinion. I know others will chime in on this and have varying opinions, but this is my $.02
