The lift i'm looking into is the Rusty's 3.25" Advanced Kit. It seems very complete and it comes with Their JK front control Arm system and Rear Adjustable Lower control Arms

Code: RK-325A-JK Price: $1,450.00

•Front 3.25 coil springs
•Rear 3.25 coil springs
•Front adjustable trac bar
•Rear adjustable trac bar
****•JK front control arm system
•Front & rear SS brake lines
****•Rear adjustable lower control arms
•JKS Quicker Disconnects (for Non-Rubicon models)
•Extended rear sway bar links
•4 Rusty's premium hydro shocks

 

I had a set built by a local fab shop, that are fantastic. I know someone is going to bring up binding issues. I haven't had any issues. They do flex better than the stock control arms and in my opnion better street feel.

 

I wonder how this set up compares to individual front upper and lower arms as far as performance and reliability?

 

I've had mine on for aprox. 50 000 km and still tight. I grease them after wheeling and every oil change.

 

I just sent Rusty's tech a PM asking him to chime in on this thread.

 

The JK front arm system is a mid - length arm system that is alot like our long arm. It has the upper arm tied into the lowers. This gives you great road manners as well as superior flex off road. I think the problem with the mounts was just that, the JK LCA mounts are not much more than than sheet metal same as the XJ's and TJ's, our replacment mounts are a big seller and the new JK mounts are already selling like crazy and they aren't on the site, but will be soon. I can see where sliding
on the rocks at Moab or any jagged rocks will tear these factory mounts off.
As for the control arm system ,it comes with our proven flex joints at one end and factory rubber bushings at the other that bolts into the factory mounts. Great road manners at both highway and town driving and tons of adjustablity.

 

Anyone running this setup?

 

X2 - How long have you been running system. I have heard not so nice things about the radius arm setup. However Rusty's always seems to make it better.

 

Thank you for the information.
I would recommend to change the factory mounts to yours everytime someone order your JK front arm system.

Thank you
