Are these any good?

This looks like it has a little bit more parts on it...

What else would I need to get with that?

Anyone?

Well... Its been debated on other forums. But RC seems to cut corners on every size lift. For 3.25", you really should have adjustable trackbars, plus adjustable control arms or cam bolts (though I don't think there's many fans of cam bolts on this forum).

If you remove the 3/4" spacers from that kit, then you what you really have is the way their 2.5" kit "should" ship.

so it would be better to get the 3.25 and remove the spacers?

That would be a pretty good idea. And hold on to the spacers- if you add a heavier bumper/winch on the front, you can add the spacers in to compensate for the added weight. Same thing in the back if you add a heavier bumper, carrier, and larger tire.

I like your thinking!

I think an adjustable trackbar for the front will be my next upgrade. Few questions to ease my simple mind. Both you guys said trackbars plural. I have a rear trackbar relocation bracket on the axle. It has a few different locations for the TB. I assume I don't need an aftermarket TB for the rear with that. Is there a way to tell if I have it in the correct setting? For the front, is the JKS TB a good choice?

Adjustable trackbars are preferred over brackets. So at some point you should switch the rear to an adjustable.

JKS trackbar- that is what I have. Yes, they are good. But if I were to do it over again I would go with Poly Performance. Simple reason being that you can adjust the Poly while it is mounted. The JKS requires that you disconnect one side to adjust it. That makes it difficult to get it set perfectly.
