i love rustys i wouldnt want another company


go with the 4.5" or get the 3 inch with full packs and add a 2" spacer kit and have them give you the LCA's for 5 inches i have their 4.5" spring kit and love it i added a 2" spacer too.

id also look into the HD trac bar bracket

call them up and talk to them (you will ussually talk with Rusty himself) but the other guy is real helpful to, I am sure they will help you go into the direction you want and will customize a kit for you.

What is your price range?

I personally wouldnt run rustys but that is just my opinion, IMO their shipping is way too high. I would look into RE or RC.

I agree. After 3 straight low-quality products from him, i don't think i'll be ordering from him anymore. He could at least send me something where ONE of the bolt holes line up.....

im looking for the $500 dollar range. still living on a budget somewhat. i want to do the re lift but with doing that then buying shocks and tires i dont have it right now so i figured ill start with the 3 rustys then start saving for a good re and shocks and so on

Kyle

If your on a budge go with RC, after shipping rustys will much higher then you would like.

yeah after i read what you said about shipping i priced it all out. thanks guys.

Kyle

So what did you decide on?

c-loss

gonna go with the rough country shipping wasn't that much different but i have not heard allot about rustys. so i will go with the one i have heard about and seen a couple of.

Kyle

Well good for you, glad you changed your original decision Be sure to bring us pics when you are done.

hey man where are you located? I've got a used 3" rancho lift if you are looking to save money. it was on my jeep when i got it and i have since went with a 4.5 RC. Don't know if you want to go used though?

It's interesting that Rusty's does so well considering that 99% of the time they get a big on the Jeep forums.

I think Rusty gets a raw deal online. I have delt with him personally and in business and he's a good guy. I am running his bumper and it seens to be very well made , i have had no problems with it at all.

To me Rusty has a worse reputation then he deserves and Rubicon gets a better one then they deserves online..

After having a RC lift, a Rusty's lift and Rubicon Express lift..... Rubicon Express has EARNED every bit of praise heaped on them...

My Rusty's experiences has been fair to fine. As long as you are looking for parts that the welds aren't load bearing you are fine... My solo customer service experience with them was less than good, but when I got a person claiming to be Rusty on the phone that was quickly fixed..

Rusty has been a big supporter of our hobby and its organizations and deserves credit for that. He also has been around a LONG time with some good parts and some parts that really missed the mark.... His checkered reputation is pretty well earned...

I am much more likely to spend my money with a company like Rusty's that has a track record of doing things for us a community.
