Finally got my 2010 riot FDII lifted. i brought it to my local offroad shop and told them that i was going to order the RRO but then they offered me a lower price for everything so i don't know exactly what brand or what not i have but i do know it's taller now

Don't you remember you were waiting for the RRO because it was on Backorder. Maybe you are the only Patriot Owner with a one and only Secret Custom Kit that they sold to you for an unbelieveable lower price than the RRO Kit. I doubt it. Maybe the JC Whitney coil inserts? You just paid them and took off, there's RRO and Stus Coils and you don't know what you have? Like I said there must be a new Secret Kit that you only know about. Please give us some info, maybe other Members may be interested.

i know it's a spacer lift like the RRO but i'm not sure what company or anything. I'll give the shop a call monday and try to find out where they got it from and get back to everyone

I've got a friend who owns an alignment shop and it was cold and rainy and I was feeling lazy so I just turned it all over to him.

He charged me about 3 hours labor plus an alignment.

Interesting point here though. He said that the new upper control arms have the grease fitting placed in such a way that there is no way to add grease to the upper joint without removing the control arm. He greased the joint very well and installed it, but I may have to plan on lifting the Jeep up to remove and regrease the fitting every couple of years. Luckily, that grease fitting only lubricates a rubber bushing and the joint doesn't move much.

w00t w00t! got my RRO lift on!
I called around a few shops in L.A., ended up doing it for $470 including the alignment. Probably not the cheapest possible but cheaper than all the other estimates.
With my 225/65R17 Geolandar A/T-S I've got about 11.5" of clearance. Much nicer, and now I can see over more cars!

At last! I received my CRDSTU 2 weeks ago but hadn't time to install, fortunately a friend did it for me yesterday, I've been using the coils for 2 days and they feel awesome, my rapid measures gave me about 11,2" of clearance, you can really feel the new, stronger suspension going over bumps. Lame that my continental all-crap tires don't do justice to the lift, hopefully will be upgrading to cooper discoverer atr 235/65/17 in a few days

these are the pics of the new pat:
