Default Rough country A arms worth the cost?

Are their upper arms worth the cost of the kit? I want to lift the Blazer, and I also want to replace upper bushings and ball joints, plus I need shocks all around.

I can get a new pair of Moog upper arms with bushings and ball joints for $130 for the pair. With decent shocks, I would be close to $330, plus would need to spend the time to build rear shackles, and would be using the stock T bar keys.

I can get the RC kit for $370 plus s/h.

What do you think?

I have an almost new set of super swamper TSL radials in a 31x9.50 size sitting in the garage that I would like to run on the stock aluminum rims. They are 30.8" tall, but being a 9.50,they are narrow.

I bought the 2" RC lift just for the control arms. They are deffinatly better than the stock ones. I was concerned about snapping the stock upper control arms cause of having to cut the control arms to accomidate the shocks for the 5" TM lift. I'm just selling the rest of the 2" lift.
