I already have keys and shackles to lift my '99 Bravada, as well as newish Monroe shocks I put on about 10,000 miles back; but should I opt for the Rough Country suspension lift with the new ball joints, control arms, and yata yata? The Bravada has about 115,000 miles on her now, and I dunno if spending the extra $450 would be worth it to keep the ball joints alive for longer intervals. I dunno...any input would be appreciated.

 

Honestly Rough country's kits are not the best quality ... if your gonna get a kit then I would go with a higher quality one. If you already have the keys and shackles then just do that I know many have on this forum with no problems

 

where did you buy your keys and shackles from?

 

I bought them from a friend that was going to do a suspension lift, but decided to go with a body lift instead. And I think he bought 'em on ebay somewhere.

 

There are alot of people that have the R.C lift with no issues. It is the exact same kit as the superlift one, its just half the price. Those are the only 2" kits you are going to find.

 

Have you already eaten through a few sets off balljoints? Id rather replace a couple sets of BJs than pay $450 just for some new control arms..

But...you can buy the control arms individually, just the superlift ones...which...are the same. No need to buy the whole kit, and waste the keys, shocks and shackles. Check out Synergy Offroad for the 2'' lift UCAs.

 

Were do you see the UCA only? I have seen the keys, but nothing that says the UCAs.
