Rusty's has great products AND customer service. I have no reservations about ordering anything from them. The coils are "soft" meaning they flex well, and they are probably the least expensive way to get a coil lift. They are only $110 a set (of 2) and they are great quality. You can buy the springs separate and that will only be $220 for all 4 then buy any brand of shocks you want.

Rustys is awesome been running their 3.25 advanced lift and no complaints on the road and off ! The only thing I would do is replace the 90 degree zerk fittings with straight ones to make greasing easier !

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?
I feel like my Rusty's 3.25" rides as good as it did stock. You could always go with a little better shock if you wanted to improve the ride bit I feel like it is fine

Did you get the longer brake lines? I was interested in the TF 2.5 lift, but an extra 3/4 inch and a cheaper price is a much better deal plus I like the adjustable control arms that come with the kit. Any problems with the extra height? I thought 2.5 was the max for the front drive shaft, control arms, etc.

Thanks.

I was curious about the Rusty's lift as well. 3.25" with springs, track bars, shocks and brake line extensions vs the Rough Country Series ll with more 'stuff' but no track bars. Which way to go? Which one is 'better' or 'more complete'?

Trying to pick a reasonable priced lift that doesn't need a lot of 'extras' for a JK has become a rather difficult choice, simply because there is so much choice and so much variation between lifts.

Anyone have any pics? From the pictures, the lift looks like you could run 37's with flat fenders easily....

You can. I chose to add a 1" body lift.

Good to hear, I may do that now instead of the teraflex. Two questions though, all the other kits have swaybar links but the rustys doesn't, do I need to buy those too or is it ok without? Also any suggestion on softer shocks?
