I personaly wouldn't use Rustys trac bars. I know of one failure personaly and have read of more. They're junk. Buy what you want, but research before spending your hard earned cash. The prices are a wash if you take the time to compare.

I wouldnt put anything vital such as suspension or steering from rustys on my jeep I just dont trust them. However i think they make some other good products. I have also heard that shipping will kill you from them look into Rough country or Rubicon express

+ 1 on high shipping! AAL it was $80 to Oregon. Spring pack kit was $125+ (cant remember as I was in shock)
I had there 4.5" with adjustable track bar and it was good. I never had any problems with the track bar but did have steering issues. I was told that the track bar was part of the problems as it would bind.
Leaf springs started to "wrap" really bad (looked like an S shape) however they were the old style and I bought them used (they were ran hard).
I have installed and rode in the 3" and liked it. But, I dont know if its worth the extra cost to ship. Just bought the 3" from Zone Offroad (received it yesterday). It was $290 shipped. I found a sticker on one of the springs that said BDS suspension, good stuff.

Im running a rustys lift on my 89 and drive it about 60 miles a day interstate driving.I have got no complaints with mine .Your going to hear good and bad from people no matter which lift that you go with.I know people that despises R/E. I personally dont like the R/E lift from prior problems I had with one of there wrangler lifts.IMO
