I've owned their control arms and springs. I was happy with both items and I was very happy with the customer service! I would have bought from them again but I was looking for a more complete kit than they had to offer. If I had any advice for Rusty's, I'd suggest they have a swap out option for their shocks and I'd suggest to add bump stops to their 3.25" kit.

I drove a two hour round trip today to go to Rustys and purchased their 2" coil lift with shocks. On the way home I dropped my Jeep off at the shop to get the lift installed. I went to pick it up at closing time only to be informed that they couldn't finish the install because the bushings for one of the rear shocks was missing. And of course Rustys is closed for the weekend.

I had a rusty's lift on my TJ, and I am currently running their 3.25 inch lift on my 08 JK!

I love Rusty's products, they have great customer service and they are solid equipment. They ship quickly as well.


In fact there are dealerships here in Maryland that install Rusty's components and actually give you lifetime free replacement if you break their stuff on or off road!

I don't have any personal experience with Rusty's products (although I have read mixed reviews). I would compare apples to apples to some of the other kits on the market and see if the savings is worth it. I think if the arms have DOM tubing with a Currie Johnny they should be tough.

I have read on a couple forums about bushing issues and sagging springs with Rusty's products.
