Great info. Im seriously considering buying this lift. Also would like to know about the rake, and if spacers are needed.

Here is one more. I had plenty of flex left in this shot. Oh and by the way I got 4.25 inches of lift out of it. So new drive shafts will be in ur near further running this much. It took mine about 2 months to go. Now I have j.e. reels front and rear. So just be prepared to drop another $900

wow... this is an old thread. Well, I still have my Rusty lift 50k miles later and many many off road trips later. Still love the lift! Springs sit just over 3 inches on my 4 door and that is with a lot of abuse. As for the track bars, they have been abused over the years and have had to replace them with JKS. I keep rusty's as back ups now.

Not to hijack this thread, but I have a quick question regarding Rusty's coil springs. I'm currently running the Teraflex 2.5 Budget Boost with my stock coil springs, and I want to buy the Rusty's 3.25 springs to replace my stock springs. My question is, will I run into any trouble over-extending my breather tubes or brake lines or anything? I'm never really at full flex in my Jeep, not yet at least. I have brake line extensions installed already. Thanks

Thank you! That's exactly the shots I was looking for! I have flat fenders as well. I already run coast driveshafts front and rear so I've got that covered. Did you do the 3/4 spacer to level the rake or no? I want the rake gone....

You are going to want to address the brakes with either new line or extensions. And since you have extensions, I would think you are good to go.
