I discussed this with them before I bought mine, they told me they had a problem with the previous manufacturer and quality, but this was back in 2000. They now use Midwest Spring and Stamping, the same company that makes springs for Chevrolet and Chrysler. They also guarentee them for life.

I have had the Rusty's for over a year now, and the ride is still great. The company has great customer service as well, I ordered the wrong part once, and they sent me a replacement before I sent the wrong part back. They will also talk to you and answer questions about your Jeep, they are pretty knowledgeable guys. I have no doubt that they will back up their product if there is any problems. I am also at almost 22,000 miles and have had no issues with the suspension. I did use Full Traction bumpstop extensions to fit 35's without rubbing at full flex. You won't need them with 33's and below.

Ok, I'm looking to do a 2" lift, too - I was thinking BB, but now you guys talk coils, so I'm weighing the options - what are the pros/cons to each?

I don't want to do shocks, etc, just a inexpensive lift for my Unlimited Rubicon, because it's a daily driver.

Do I need to worry, with a BB or coils, about redoing brake lines, etc?

Do any of these lifts, level, as well?

So much to think about...

TeraFlex has 3 different 2.5" BB (spacer) kits and 3 different 2.5" coil kits. We've got you covered with parts and customer service. Need tech support on a weekend when your installing? I can give you my cell #.

When I bought my lift, you guys weren't done with your coil lift. At the time I had very few options on smaller coil spring lifts. It was either a BB or a 3-4" spring lift. I have a 2-door so I didn't want to go too high.
