Best lift kit?

Hey guys i got an 08 sportsman 500 EFI and have been doing some research on the best 2" lift kit. what i came out with is not to buy the cheaper 50$ lift kits or you will be running through cv joints and axles like crazy. i hear RDC and Extreme 2" lift kits are the better ones... any opinions on this?

I dont mean to but lets hear short and sweet what kit you got on yours and how many miles without problems... pictures wouldnt hurt either!!

2" RDC with 29.5 outlaws. I have had the lift for 2 years now, only issue was broken axles, but I ride hard with the most aggressive mud tire.
