Talking Rusty's 3.25 lift

Ok, after months of scouring this site, and the internet trying to decide which lift to put on my 08 Unlimited , I finally decided to go with the Rusty's 3.25 lift. I had read on here about the lack of instructions and figured "Hey, Ive done lifts before, who needs instructions" . Lesson learned! I recieved the lfit very promptly from Rusty's with free front sway bar disconnects! About the same time My new 33 bfg Mt, and 17 inch ATX predators came in. Hard to not get started with all that in the garage huh? Well I started at like 9 at night! Let me first say this is a quality lift , and I highly recommend it. But here is something nobody on here mentioned before. after installing the lift and track bars, etc. Measure the distance from the spring bucket on both from tires and adjust the fron track bar as needed. Mine came to roughly 5 inches either side! Do the same on the back except measure the distance from fram to tires on the rear. I decided to go with 33 inch tires versus 35 because if I had forked over the dough for a re-gear I would have had to hire a divorce attorney as well! I am very impressed with the way everything turned out! The 33's look great and they really arent that bad as far as downshifting etc. I will post some pics of my new blacked out rig asap. I wanna thank all those who have posted pics on here because that is what helped me decide what mods to do!

I have had the Rusty's 2" coils for a long time, and they still ride great.

Default we love the rustys lift.

i have been running a rustys lift on my wifes jeep for over a year and a half, and it rides better than stock.....we love it..... for the trackbar go to you local autoparts store and get the green loc-tight, (penetrating type), put on the jam nuts on the track bars, that will keep them form backing off....that was the only problem that i have even encountered....no more worries, but i still get under and check everything on a regular basis.

congrats on the lift and the jeep look awsome.
