Good kit, one exception.
Received a little banged up - packaging could improved. I've done a few lift before and this was on par for difficultly. A little more challenging without a lift. My biggest criticism is that this 3-inch lift was significant enough of a driveline angle change to cause a concerning vibration in the rear. I replaced u joints and it didn't solve it. The only thing that worked was the $40 transfer case drop. It's a bummer that the kit does not shim enough to resolve this issue. Overall, I'm happy so far. It's brand new so I will have to report back on the wear and tear.

Easy good value
Did exactly what I wanted. Installation is easy, be careful to check ALL lines though, in my case there were a few additional lines and cables that needed to be loosened to allow the axles to drop enough.

RC 3.5 suspension lift
Installed it in my garage. Took about 6 hours with help of my teenage son. Overall good product. Install wasn't really that complicated. Ride is much better than my worn out stock suspension.

Good value and quality for the money
I purchased this kit a few weeks back and did the install over the weekend. Overall, the quality of the parts seems to be pretty good and the install was fairly easy. I was missing a bag of hardware, but Rough Country support was very helpful and shipped me a replacement hardware bag. My only other complaint with this kit was that the instructions were not very thorough and kind of difficult to follow. We did find a video on YouTube that was very helpful, but the actual instructions definitely could have been better. That said, the kit was a good value and overall went together very well. I absolutely love the way my truck looks and drives and am overall pleased with it.
