well, the RC kits are cheaper for a reason. like the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
that being said, if you plan on doing longarms/soa, then do it now. don't waste your time/money on a lift that doesnt fit your needs. i learned this the hard way. :doh:
and x2 on not buying from Rustys. i had good luck with them in the beginning, but when i broke a leaf in my 4.5in leaf pack, it took 3 MONTHS to get a replacement. :wall:
