From your link...
Every clutch kit contains CLUTCH INDUSTRIES RPM HEAVY DUTY PERFORMANCE 1 Pressure plate, 1 Clutch/Drive plate, 1 Thrust bearing ALL COMPONENTS ARE BRAND NEW
Seems like RDA are repackaging CI stuff so you should be ok quality wise. RPM is a step up from stock. As for wether it will handle what you're going to ask of it, perhaps find out the clamping pressure on this particular kit and compare it to what Exedy do in their HD/Safari Tuff kits and even what CI do in their 4Terrain kits. I'd be going the Safari Tuff or 4Terrain personally. Do it once.

Or be like me and run 33's on a rocky on standard gearing and do it annually :finger:

PM Dave Metcalfe(MMM Xtreme on here). He sells the Exedy clutches.
I bought mine from him, and it was a great price.
