Rusty's---good stuff?
I like my 3.25" lift, gave me about 4.5" on a 2-door soft top. Springs, shocks and both trackbars included, its a decent deal.
However the front quick disconnects blow. They are really loose and noisy. They look exactly like the pics I've seen of the Full Traction ones (wouldn't be surprised if they are sourced from the same place, really). I ended up ordering adjustable links from NR4x4 for both front/rear. Surprisingly Rusty's doesn't include extended rear links.
Still, I am fairly happy with it.
I have TeraFlex flexarms so I can't speak for their control arms...

Thanks Army, the jeep looks good. I have a 2 dr rubicon and want to keep it small. I am looking for a max of 2 1/2 lift or the possibility of running flat fenders with 35s.
Stay safe if your still in the sandbox brother.

I had a Rustys on my Liberty and it was fine. The rear shocks went bad after two years, but the coils were great and did not sag at all.
I have a Rustys 2.5" on my CJ5 also. The leafs are military wrapped and are super stout. Great quality. See below vs stock.


My dad has Rustys coils / leafs on his XJ and they are fine as well.
IMO...they make good quality stuff. They a RIP on shipping though !

We need to update the pictures, we completely changed the disconnects, they are noise and maintenance free. We don't out source either, they are built in house like our lifts in Bakersfield, CA

i may go frankenlift and combine rusty's control arms and OME springs..i can get a set of rusty front LCAs and springs for the same price of TF or JKS arms alone..no knock agast the other brands, but it's all about savign money..
