Default Rusty's offroad 5.75 long arm kit

So I've been looking at rusty's long arm kit

The reviews of the comp are making me want to run but the price of the kit keeps bringing me back to it

Has anyone bought this kit and not had a problem with things missing or not lining up?

I have not personally installed or even seen a kit from them in person so i wont bad mouth just because some people have had issues. But i will say something on the point of the Radius Arms they use. I run the Rubicon Express radius arms and have a lot of binding issues and have ended up replacing all the joints with Johnny Joints until i can afford another lift. I just have to say that because i was in a similar boat. I saw the kit i have for CHEAP and just got it. I will say the design is not terrible but i am not sure how you drive you Jeep. It could be a great kit, but if i could do it again i would spend the money once and get a nice 4 link front and rear. Do you have to have a long arm? Or do you still have your stock arms?

I've seen the kit on their show vehicle. It was at the all breed Jeep event in PA last year. The parts look to be pretty beefy and built well. I have heard about issues with their bushing but have not seen it first hand. One person I know has their 3.25 lift and loves it. Has had no problems.

Good luck

I'm currently running 35s on the 4" rancharo (no arms or bars) I'd realllllly like to get the rancharo 4" long arm with 9600 shocks but I just don't see me having the funding...ever I'm a horrible saver

And my final tire size is 37

If your already running 4 inch springs, what about a long arm upgrade from Synergy or Offroad Evo or something?

Not a bad thought but I bought this lift 2nd hand so as it is I don't know how much abuse it's had on it besides what I've done to it
