Rusty's VS RC
Alrite, I'm looking at 4.5" lifts. None of the AAL's crap, i'm going full pack out back. My question for all you americans is which kits would you get? they are around the same price. Minus shipping, thats i'm not sure of yet. i"d rather pick a kit before i even ask about shipping!

I love my rc 4.5 lift. Not one problem in almost 3 years. No bushings wearing out or leafs going bad. Mine doesn't even sag at all. I think someone just had a bad experience. Don't know about rustys. Rc is not as bad as some say. But all in all it really your decision. Good luck with the hunt and chose what you think you will like. Not what every one else tells you to get. Its on you in the end.

I have RC and so far its great. From what i can tell the parts seem solid and work really well.
You are gonna get bad for both and good for both lifts. RE is the nicest but i couldnt afford it so i went with RC and am glad i did.

I have a buddy with an RC lift that has been pretty happy with it so far but you are going to hear conflicting opinions on every lift.

ya I only suggest RC if its not going to get wheeled. we are dealing with a ton of RC bushing, leafs, and bent control arms lately. your case you will not be wheeling it.

IMO if you feel that something is that poor of quality and has that many problems then why suggest someone should use it no matter how it will be driven or "wheeled"?

Sorry if you are naive. my bad. RC doesn't and will not hold up to wheeling. I have a rig on the lift right now with shot bushings, leaf spring that gone. RC will handle DD responsibilities and that's about it
