Ive never ordered anything over the phone from rustys.. I just go pick it up.
Ive had buddies call them and say that they could get stuff shipped cheaper and that their shipping quotes were in no way accurate...they usually budge a bit.

Anyway..
I also said f them all. I went custom built 3 link, and Rubicon Express coils and leafs.

Lol yet another lift thread turned into a pissing match about who likes their lift brand more.

Personally I'd run Rusty's out of your two choices, I run their coils and leaf springs right now.

I just installed a rc 4.5, I've been happy with the ride and quality. One thing I will give rc credit for is the best customer service I've ever had. When I called rustys it did not seem like they cared to give me the time of day. When I had some problems with my rc track bar I was upgraded to the better setup and new pitman at no extra cost to me. All my replacement parts were overnighted and they sent me pre paid labels to send the old stuff back. That's my 2 cents

Anyone who pays $2400 for a 3.5 inch lift needs their head checked.

I think many would agree, you may need your head checked.

A nice 3.5" 4 link or 3 link with GOOD shocks, an sye, and everything included could easily cost 2k+

If I wasn't trying to avoid an SYE right now then ya i wouldn't mind the extra lift but right now I don't have the time, skills, or the extra cash to deal with installing an sye.

A 6.5 QUALITY long arm setup with everything you really need to run that lift height will put you over 2500

you prob wouldnt need a SYE if u stay under 4.5". if you did run a RE lift you could prob just get a t-case drop kit and shims if needed and be fine. right now i have a RC 3" kit and it's not that good ive had it for a year n a half and it is saging bad in front and rear but i do have front and rear bumpers thats why im going to RE cause at first they are tall but once they start to sag they are about right
