Anyone Have Experience With Rc's 4.5 Or 6" Mj Kits?

Originally I thought I'd stay away from RC, but for the price, they seem like they offer a pretty complete and decent kit at the 4.5" and 6" levels. Anyone have any experience with them?

The website shows that the 6" kit includes all the following:

Front: Lifted coil springs, upper and lower adjustable control arms, transfer case drop kit, adjustable track bar, adjustable sway-bar disconnects, power steering pitman arm, brake line relocation brackets & hardware.

(Rear: Basically just SOA parts)

 

While the 4.5" kit includes the following:

4.5" Front: Lifted coil springs, lower control arms, transfer case drop kit, extended sway-bar links & hardware.

Rear: Add-a-leafs, shackles & hardware.

 

Seeing as I already have s10 springs ready to build a bastard pack, and from what I've read you generally don't use the t-case drop kit, all I could see using out of the 4.5" kit is the LCA's, swaybar links and front lift springs. The 6" really looks like a much more complete kit but it's also about $400.00 more.

Anyway, let's say I went with the 6" kit. Would I really need anything else to complete that lift (doing it right) than what comes with the package? I already have extended brake lines ready to go in so they're not an issue. Are there any parts of that kit you'd say would be unnecessary?

Alternatively, let's say I piece together my own kit. I'd probably shoot for 5.5-6". I'd probably get some front lift coils and if needed spacers/acos, LCA's, adj. trackbar, steering stabilizer, new shocks (probably I'd just end up with some monroe's or something from advance auto or orielly's), and some extended swaybar disco's. For the rear I'd either do SOA or the bastard pack. If I went that route, would I be missing anything? Would UCA's be necessary?

 

Thanks in advance!

If you get the 6" kit, throw the pitman arm and transfer case drop kit in the garbage. With the 4.5" kit, add adjustable upper control arms, throw the transfer case drop kit in the garbage and replace the rear AAL and drop shackles with a set of 4.5" lift springs from Hell Creek.

 

Or just order a kit from Hell Creek, it will use his leaf springs, and IIRC, RC stuff for the front.
