RUTYS LIFT KIT ON YJ,

[MAC22]

Has anybody had any problems? I installed 2.5 inch { he does make one} and the rear shackles hit the rear cross member where the bumper bolts, and rides really bad and sits un even . Called him and he said hed send new springs, recieved them 11 days later , minus the ubolts and the rest of the stuff that wasent with the first shipment. ups and rusty have differnt storys on when it was shipped. I would like to hear comments on his lift kits good and bad. I used this forum for the info before, and it was good, but Im really down on rusty know. my jeep has been down for a while now. What would i do if this was my only . To any body here that has Rustys how does it ride and perform. This one sagged sitting in garage. I have to do it all over again.,

I dont think his 2.5 lifts are any good. Just get the 3.5" lift and you should be fine. My 3.5 Rustys lift rides great. I too had some shipping problems.

I had no problems whatsoever with his 3.5" lift. I loved it. Very soft and flexy...and no sag.

I have had nothing but problems with my Rusty's 3.5" lift. Granted I am SOA but that should only wear the springs out faster not instantly. I bent all 4 leaf springs on the first trail ride with them. Then it took him 1 full month to send me replacement parts. He told me UPS must have lost it TWICE. Neadless to say I am running Procomps now and will never go back. Hope this helps.

That's why I use stock leaves w/ AALs and extra main leaves as well. They can handle the abuse. I think Rustys springs are just too damn soft to use SOA. I never had a problem with mine SUA though.....
