Default Need opinions on Rusty's Offroad JK Wrangler 3.25" Basic Kit

So, I have some extra cash and am wanting to give the JK a little something. I have been looking at the TF 2.5 kit amongst some other kits. However, I just came upon the JK Wrangler 3.25" Basic Kit from Rusty's Offroad and if I remember right from others, they are a very reputable brand. So lay it out good and bad, I don't want to get this lift blind and want to know if anyone has had bad experiences in the past. Thank you for all your help.

I spoke to Rusty's this morning. I think for the money the kit is a good buy. I thought I needed the advanced kit, but he told me for what my needs were, the advanced was overkill. I really appreciated that, he could easily have sold me on twice as much money, but didn't. I think I am going with this kit soon. Post up if you go with it.

Did you need LCA's with this lift? I just want to do it right the first time. DD is the jeeps main duty and I want it to drive at least as good as stock. Rusty assured me I don't, so I kinda believe him. I just wanted some real world info.

I went ahead with the front and rear LCA's so I got everything done in one fell swoop. All I can say is that I really like the ride.

I run that lift and like it. Good people too! I added some rear links and fabricated some brake drops. Well worth it.

Rusty's a good guy, I had a ton of his gear on my XJ. Never steered me wrong.
