Default Rusty's lifts ??

I have noticed that I have never seen anybody mention anything about a Rusty's lift kit before I always hear teraflex, full traction, etc I thought Rusty's were one of the top lifts to go with because they specialize in jeeps and the parts are all made in the good USA. I was just wondering why nobody runs these lifts are they bad, good, to expensive idk I would just really like to know hahaha thanks

Ya Same here im really interested in making a Rusty's lift my next choice in the future but idk why almost no one runs that lift on this forum. On Powerblock on Spike TV everytime they work on a jeep they use a Rusty's lift and they basically have no budget so out of all the lifts they go with Rusty's im sure there is a good reason to that

I getting ready to order some front lca's from Rusty's. And, he will make custom ones for pretty much the same price. I am having him make mine with oem rubber bushings at both ends like JKS control arms for $199.00 + 25.00 shipping!!!!!!!

I run the Rusty's 3.25 and really like it a lot. It flexes really well and rides a little firm. They have great customer service and made in America. Their 5.5 long arm was on Extreme 4x4s JK. Watch the build.

I have had Teraflex, RC, Pro Comp and Skyjacker on other Jeeps and Rusty's impresses me. I know, shipping is high, but worth it. I did add rear links and fabricated some brake line drops as a "just to make sure". Really nice to have the front and rear track bars. Centered the axles spot on and no gay brackets.

Good luck!

They were very helpful with my steering problems you can call and ask for rusty himself or some dude name zach who seems to k iw the answer to every question
I hope they didn't tell you to fix your death wobble with dual steering stabilizers.

you'll forgive me but nobody "hates" anything - adding a dual ss is simply NOT a fix. the most it can do is mask a bigger problem that you clearly have. but hey, it's your jeep

A steering stabilizer does not fix anything. It just covers up. But it's your jeep.

I wouldn't try to defend your 'fix'. It's not one. Might want to do some reading and fix the real problem.
