Default Rusty's 2" Spring Lift Question

Can anyone tell me if the Rusty's 2" spring lift removes any of the rake? I have a 2008 Unlimited with stock bumber. Can you also tell me how much lift you actually got from these springs?
Thanks for any assistance.

According to the person I talked to there, the spring lift does remove the lift but the spacer kit doesn't. The picture they have on the site (the Red Jeep) has the springs in it.

I'd double check though....give 'em a call.

Yes, The 2" Spring Kit deos remove the rake. You get 3" of lift in the front and around 2 1/4 in the back I believe. The Hydro shocks are made from the same company that makes rancho and are made just for the 2 door and 4 door JK. I have got good reviews from some of the guys on here that have Rusty's and a local guy close to me has had both the 2" and 3.25" coil lifts and Love the way they ride over stock. I am down to that lift and the 2.5 RC with there 2.2 Hydro shocks. I am surprised that more people arent running the Rusty's, but I dont think many know enough about them. They have been specializing in Jeep suspensions for a long time......

Mine removed the rake until I added a steel bumper and winch.

Default Rusty's is great

I have an 07 Rubi unlimited and started with a 2" spacer lift. Once I added an ARB front bumper with a Smitty built winch the front end dropped an inch. So I bought the 2" coil spring lift and got back all I lost plus about a 1/2". And got rid of the spacer pucks. Plus the ride is better, feels firmer. Great product and great support on the phone.
