Default Do you run a Rusty's lift ... is it level?

I searched and most folks on here that run a Rusty's 3.25'' lift, seem to also have a front 3/4'' - 1'' spacer. Is it because the front sits slightly lower or it eventually droops? I'll be installing the lift this weekend, so I question this in case I should consider a 3/4'' puck while I'm doing it. Thanks!

I would add the spacer, especially if you plan on going with a heavy winch and/or bumper.

We have a customer with this lift on his rig. He has a 4 door with a fairly heavy bumper and a winch. His true lift height was a little lower than he preferred while he was loaded up. So rather than swapping out coils he went with the spacer in the front and rear. He doesn't have to much rake and he is running a stock rear bumper. Once he gets a heavier bumper he will probably be sitting level.

You can check out our Facebook page and you will see a bunch of pictures of his Yellow JKUR.

I have the 3.25 long arm lift and very little if any rake with front and rear XRC bumpers w/ stinger and a winch. I would not worry too much pucks are easy to install later if you want.

I have had mine on for almost 3 years now and it has sat level from bay one. Love this lift!

I have had my rusty lift for 6 years. Not sure how long the life expectancy of a lift is, but my lift is down to a 2 inch lift. I am now looking to do a long arm coil over

Was it the 3.25" lift?

It "should" settle into a level stance. As mentioned a spacer is easy to install if needed.
