Isn't it weird that th eRugged ATV kit is about 500 bucks, but Super ATV's is sitting at 700. They look pretty similar, so what gives? 700's a stretch for me, but I don't wanna drop $500 on junk either, anyone know what the real difference is?
 
Totally get where you’re coming from $700 is a stretch for a lot of people. The Rugged kit might not have the big brand name, but it actually holds up really well. Once you got it on youll feel the difference and probably won’t want to go without it. If the budget is tight, its a solid option that won’t feel like you’re settling.

I'm leaning toward the Rugged kit if it holds up well especially considering the price. If it works as well as you say, I'll definitely give it a shot
 
The price gap between Rugged and SuperATV kits likely comes down to differences in materials, design, and brand reputation, for moderate use,rugged might suffice but for heavy duty or long term reliability, the extra investment in SuperATV could be worthwhile.

I'm in the same boat, man. agree. The rugged kit might be more reliable than the other
 
Yeah, I noticed that too, super ATV's kit usually comes with beefier components and maybe a better finish, but honestly, the rugged one holds up pretty well for the price, 500 is okay from my POV but if you want more then that's up to you

The biggest difference you're paying for with SuperATV is the lifetime warranty and the heavy-duty parts, especially if it's a bigger lift. Their kits often include things like chromoly steel A-arms, bigger axles, and other reinforced components that a cheaper kit might not have. The Rugged ATV kit is more like a simple bracket lift that just repositions your shocks, which can put more stress on your stock axles and suspension. If you're doing intense trail-riding on mud or tough trails, that extra $200 for the SuperATV kit would be a solid investment in durability and peace of mind!
