Rusty's 2" coil spring lift with shocks have a good price compared to others. Would have liked to ggo with Teraflex but their kit price is $820.99 compared to $349.00. I understand 1 offers more then the other but prices seems far apart.

I run the Rusty's 3.25" lift and love it. Great bang for the buck. Rides nice both on street and on trail.

No complaints.

I have their 2'' coil and shock lift and love it. You have to press in the shock bushings yourself, but I don't know if it's just normal to sell shocks without bushings pressed in. They may be able to do it for you if you call them.

I called and asked if I needed a track bar and they actually talked me out of it saying it wasn't needed for just 2''. They were right and I respect them for not trying to sell me something of marginal value to me.

It's a bit rougher then stock, but the shocks and coils are a heck of alot beefier then stock. I like the ride myself, but when I drive around someone who is used to something like a Lexus, I get complaints, although your going to get them with most any lift I imagine.

I have the 3.25 lift. I got about 4in of lift out of it. The ride is a little ruffer than stock but not that bad. I liked that it came with front and rear adj track bars. It flexes well and its a great buy for the price!!!!

I just installed my 3.25" kit and netted about 4". Itwas quick to install, about 4 1/2 hours and rides great. You definatly are gonna wanny buy new sway bar links or get some quick disconnects as the stock links seemed pretty stretched out. The adjustable track bars even came with grease fittings. I would say with a fender trim and the right wheel and tire setup you could even run 37s with this setup. I have dealt with Rusty on several occasions and have yet to be dissapointed. He is a great guy and always puts together a great kit. The best part is that I got 4" for less than $800. I don't think that anyone else puts a kit out that will do that much for that little and they definately don't include the adjustable track bars. All in all I give Rustys lift kits 5 stars.

Anybody have an experience with both the Teraflex 2.5" BB and the Rusty's 3.25" lift? There are a lot of comments about the Rusty's ride being firmer, any idea how it compares to the ride of the Teraflex? I'm trying to decide what to put in my Jeep. We use the Jeep a lot for skiing trips so it has to be bearable for me and my family for 6+ hours of driving. Any ideas?
