Default Rubicon Owners with Rustys Shocks

I am right on the edge of taking the leap into the rustys lift with the cheapo Rustys shocks. I am in love with my Rubi shocks because they are monotube and ride AWESOME! Best I have ever owned on a 4x4! The problem is I want to run the Rustys entry level shocks because they are in the kit I want and are not extra.

Anyone compare the two? Any Rubicon owners running the rustys lifts with regrets? opinions?

THanks,

I have Rusty's 3 1/4 with adj upper and lowers, trac bars..etc.
I was in your shoes...when I bought my rubi I enjoyed the ride 10x over my 04 TJ and was scept about lifting. I researched here a bunch and asked alot of local guys about Rusty's...everyone raved about how strong their pieces are and the cust service involved. They stand behind their products very well. I have had the lift since last Sept and the ride is still better than factory... never one ESP issue and now have the 6.1 Hemi. I added 1 1/2 " in front to overcome factory rake and am totally satisfied. Hope this helps.

I had an 04 TJ also, I have a lift but I retained the stock shocks with the TF shock adapters. Hemi???? Man, why not get a diesel swap instead? Thanks!
