a quick search would have turned up lots of results on this. might be a good choice for the future...

i just did the coilover conversion on my superlift.

from what i understand, the rcd lift is no longer available. but there are some used ones out there for sale. youll have to search for them though. dont be scared

yes, it is the 2wd lift. its a full 6" lift. its a coil over conversion, so cranking the torsion bars would be out of the picture. from what i understand its still being made, or atleast the site the link is from still has it in stock it because i called a few weeks back. was just curious to see if anyone has used it or what you fellas think of it.

not sure about the 2wd one. from what i understand from some of the 4wd guys, rcd crossmembers arent the strongest and their links arent the best either. their bracketry i used for the coilovers worked out awesome though. not sure what else there is to it on a 2wd. buy it and find out? haha

well im not to familiar with to many "wheelin" spots down here in Louisiana. for the most part everythings muddin haha. i need to find some local ranger owners to meet up with and find some spots. anyways, would you consider the camburg kit worth it for muddin? i mean i know its worth the money as far as dependability.
