Default Rusty's Offroad front 3.25" coils

Has anyone used these? Any thoughts/feedback on them? At $110 a pair I am quite curious.

Also curious about the 2.5" springs.

The JKU I was looking at putting the lift on was totaled in an accident and I had to start over. Now looking for input on the 2.5" springs.

I just installed Rustys 3.25" kit with coils, shocks, adjustable front and rear track bars 2 days ago. It seems to handle better on the highway with a firmer ride. It also has more flex than the stock springs. I have run Rustys products for years and everybody I know with on and offroad rigs run Rustys.

I didn't think to measure it before but my buddy who runs the offroad shop where I got them said he was seeing 4.25" on 2-doors with stock bumpers.

I run the 3.25" kit. Have nothing but good to say about it. Bumper and winch dropped it less than 1/4". And yes the springs do give more lift than the advertised amount

I have the 3 1/4" lift with the 3/4" spacers in the front to level it up. I actually got a little over 5" in the front even with a full width front bumper and winch. They do ride a little stiffer on the road as someone mentioned. Stiff enough I haven't bothered to reconnect my front sway bar all summer. It flexes plenty on the trail. I would definately recommend extended bump stops. I had only 1" pucks initially after I installed it and put a nice bend into my stock drag link. I have some Teraflex extended stops now and no problems. Brake line extensions are a plus also.

Anyone have pics of the 3.25" kit on a JKU. I have narrowed my search to a 3.5 AEV or 3.25 Rusty's. Any thoughts?
