Default i have decided on a lift

I have decided to pick Rusty's 3.25 lift for my JK. I have not heard anything bad about their lifts, and the kit comes with springs/shox and f/r adjustable track bar, no relocation bracket. I have never thought much about using a bracket to fix what can be corrected with adj track bars.

then it will be planted on some nice 35" nittos.

will do. I ordered it yesterday and got my tracking number today, so it looks like I will spend Christmas in the shop


I ordered it direct from Rusty's, I am not sure if I can give the website or not since he is not a sponsor on the site..Wayoflife, have you contacted him at all?


Thanks

Bill

Thanks Wayoflife. no I am by no means employed by them, I sit behind a desk for a loan servicing co in South Dakota in a small 5x5 cubicle. That why I need to build up my Jeep so I can get out to the Trails.


I got my lift directly from Rustys at rustysoffroad.com I just checked the tracking on my lift and I am supposed to have it on Tuesday


Do you have any leads on gears yet? I have a 2 door that has the 3.21 in it and they will need to go away. The salesman that sold it to me said it had 4.10's and it didn't so the dealer is willing to upgrade them at no charge to me, but I want to pay the differnce to go to 4.88s or at least 4.56's.

Yeah, unfortunately, I wouldn't expect to see gears available until spring of next year at the soonest. At least, that's what I'm being told by my contacts.

I am right there with you. I came home today to a nice big stack of boxes. I have the same lift, Rusty's 3.25. Those track bars are wicked!!

But, I to am waiting on my rims and tires. I was going to use my stock 18s on my 4door, but they are too narrow for the 325/65r18's I was looking at. so I must now pick out another set of rims. I am 7-10 days out on my tires/wheels, so it looks like I will celebrate new years in my garage.

I wheel with a XJ guy and he has nothing but bad things to say about his experiences with Rusty's. Mainly customer service and delivery issues.

Good to hear you guys got your goods. Looking forward to reading your evaluation of the kit.
I am in the market.
