[QUOTE="Skyler76, post: 451572, member: 23746"] I installed the RC lift, then had it aligned. Shit result. I removed the RC lift and installed MC lift with Bilstein 5100s, no alignment and thus far the jeep is a completely different beast. Super happy with the result. I am sure that the caster was the main culprit, the MC control arms fixed that (adjusted to their spec for the lift that put me in the correct ballpark), the RC shocks and springs felt that like total crap too. I had out of spec (according to RC) droop on the rear springs, so much so they sent me new ones that I never installed. My only gripe with the MC lift kit is that the trackbars aren't adjustable unless disconnected. So you can't just on the fly adjust them which makes the axle centering a bit of a pain once the vehicle is on the ground. That said, you do it once and I guess it's that way because the design is way more solid that way. [/QUOTE]
