Good kit, I got the upper control arms also, rear shocks are weak. Mine were shot in 8 months.

i dont have the RC kit but the say to definetly get the drop differential brackets and everything with it. the ball joints and A arm are a bit much if you ask me and if you call and ask them they will try to sell it to you but they will tell you its totally not needed. I have the one by Supreme Suspension Lifts off of ebay i attached a picture of it. It did not come with differential drop down brackets. they say you dont need them but the ones it could have came with would have been about 1/2" thick. so not that much of a difference any ways. the Diff drops by RC are 1 " in the the front and 1 1/2" in the rear you need to grind off of your differential to install it because of the angle its at but they say it helps to keep a good angle on your drive shaft.

About the performance, i still have stock rear shocks. it sits exactly at 41 1/4" in the front and rear to the top of the fender from the ground. It rides pretty much exactly as stock. maybe s alittle rougher over big pot holes. I'm running 285/65/ r 18 on a stock offset aftermarket wheel. you can definetly notice a difference espeically when getting into the vehicle.
