I've got a set of their adjustable front lower control arms. They are a good quality and at a very good price. Been on for about 3k miles and no problems.

I think the reason you don't hear much about them on here is because they aren't a sponsor not because they make bad stuff

I ran the Rusty's 2.5 lift on my KJ for 4 years and was very happy with it. So much so that I went with them when I lifted my JK.

I am running Rusty's 3.25 lift with trackbars, adjustable lower front control arms and rear swaybar links. I added the Rock Jock bumpstops from David as Rusty's does not provide any and they were definatley needed.

I have put just over 4k miles on the lift now and couple wheeling trips (Evans Creek, Naches Trail) and have been very happy with it.

BTW, I ended up getting 5 inchs of lift on my unlimited after the install. It has now settled to a tad over 4. I would also recommend the 3-4" extended brake lines.

Rustys bad wrap comes from the NAXJA guys. Back when rustys started up i think they had a few problems here and there. But i have to say I am happy with my ride and flex. A fella in the club liked my ride so much he bought his springs. Ive heard bad things about thre track bars but everyone praises there spring and shock combos. My jeep rides better now then stock.

I have not run a JK lift from Rusty's. But I have run a 4" and 6" on two of my FSJ's, and have a 3.25" on the XJ. All of them seem to work fine. I have beat on the 6" on my J10 for 6 years now. Granted they are leaf springs.

Now, back 6-7 years ago, there was some quality issues. Some people got shipped lifts with missing/wrong parts etc. However, more recently, from what I have heard they have improved apon these issues.

I am running Rusty's suspension. And trust me, I have tested it to the limits. I also have 20k miles on it. Love it! Great stuff. I have control arms, track bars, shocks and springs.
