Default Rusty's 3.25 inch suspension

Anyone used a Rusty's 3.25 inch suspension basic lift kit yet? I found a good deal on a used one and wanted to know how it rides? To stiff??? I am planning on running 35's on a 2 door. Any input would be great.

Thanks

Be sure to browse the faq's.

Since that is a basic kit, sections like these may have some good info for you...

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?
Q: What size bump stop extensions should I install with my lift?
Q: I just installed a lift on my JK. Do I need an alignment?
Q: What back spacing will I need on my wheels in order to clear 12.50 wide tires?

I have it over 40,000mi on it now. They were having trouble with the track bars, but seem to have took care of that. there warranty is great. Rusty is easy to deal with as well good customer service. If I was to rate them I would give 4 out of 5 stars and they would be GOLD!!

It's a good lift for a great price. I had a Rusty's 3.25" lifts on both of my JK's and they're awesome. They have very nice employee's too.

Here are three Jeeps with the Rusty's lift you speak of. The Black one is my ol' ladies with 35" Mud Grapplers. The yellow is mine on Stock SR-A's. and the red rock is Backroadman's.
