Thanks
I have put a couple hundred miles on my Jeep with the Rusty's 2" coils, and so far, it has been riding smoothly on the road and I have not had any problems with the ESP after I did a steering adjustment. Off road with the swaybar disconnected, the springs flex nicely, probably a little "softer" (in a good way) than stock, they are definately worth the money.

I have their 3.25 coils and do like them. They have a softer spring rate than others which is an atvantage when it comes to downward travel. But you will definately need bump stops to keep from rubbing on the up travel.

Yes, just coil springs and shocks. Mine did great this weekend at Disney, it had a lot of rocks and good trails no problems.

Do you receive less lift if you have the four door? The spring rate is soft so the heavier jeep would cause it to be lower right? I dont see two spring rates for their lifts.

what rusty, told me was that they built them for the 4-door. I was around 3.5 when I first put it on my JK4D. It was dropped a little, but it sill above 3.25.

Did it level out the Jeep or do you still have a rake? Do you have the Rusty's shocks? How do they ride compared to stock and would you buy them again or buy something else? Any more photos before and after maybe?

The Rusty's front springs sit higher than the rear to level the Jeep out. The shocks ride just as well as the stock shocks. I like mine and wouldn't change them for any other lift. I like the idea of coil springs vs spacers for flex.
