Re: whch would you buy

My rough country kit isn't as bad as people have all said. It's not so rough its a kidney killer. I added a shackle flip in the rear and didn't have the wheel move away from the center of the wheel opening.

Keep in mind if the rear axle does move forward during a shackle flip, you can always add a zero rate and move it back an inch.

One big positive on the shackle flip is the ride quality. That flat spring rides nice and flexes a lot better than a highly arched spring. Personally, I think running the flip with the rough country front springs evened it out some. Meaning the ride is a lot less harsh than what it could have been running 4 rc springs.
