    Chit! I am on my second one, first was a warranty return. This one looks to be heading the same way as the first.

    From what I've read most people don't like RTC's and seems that they aren't very reliable. Any Reason you want a RTC?

    This discussion has been done to death mate.............. just buy a proper one and not a RTC.

    Have a little look on all the talk about these that has been discussed in the last couple of years.

    I just heard they improve your handling on the black top when running a 3inch or higher lift and 315's but I think I'll steer clear of them after hearing your guys opinions of them and get a normal one can you recommend me one in particular?

    P.S. Sorry if I dragged up an old discussion I was just after some current information is all.

    Kings do a nice one. I use to run a toughdog adjustable one and found that to do the job well with a 5" lift and 35's.

    Steer clear of RTC

    As mentioned in the other thread they only mask a problem you have.. and there are many stories of them failing also..

    I have a good heavy duty Tough Dog that is adjustable for around the same money.

    I must have been the only one who quite liked using one the, particularly on road. I liked the fact that they stiffened up the feel of steering as I tended to find power assisted steering a little sloppy, especially at speed. In saying that, I did manage to bend mine due to hitting a rock a wee bit hard...... I've replaced it with a toughdog adjustable to try something different...... This I also like due to being able to stiffen up the steering to how I like it to feel
