DansGreyMj Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 i might be getting a good deal on one month old rustys 4.5 coils the only problem is that I'm kinda a big guy and i don't want them to sag quickly any one have good experience with these coils?
ORCA Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I've only heard really, really bad things about rusty's suspension components. So generally I stay away. Not a coil spring, not my rig either. I remeber seeing way more carnage pictures like that and most of the guys were saying it was happening when they were off of the trail. (I know this pic looks like he is actually on the trail...)
pingpong Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I have run rusty's coils from the start, and they held up well considering a heavy @$$ winch and bumper, and being over flexed.
Oizarod115 Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 i've always heard ditch the trac-bar that comes with their kit... but the springs are good. a long time ago they had bad rep for their springs but have since changed suppliers.
87manche Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I was there when that tracbar broke. The previous day Kim had bent it, they went into town and had a local place bend it back. the next day it broke.
feerocknok Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Rubicon Express uses Rusty's coil supplier. Fine coils.
Oizarod115 Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Rubicon Express uses Rusty's coil supplier.Fine coils. :eek: :eek: i did NOT know that! RE coils are the :bowdown: from my experience
ChiefJosh Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Rubicon Express uses Rusty's coil supplier.Fine coils. Where did you hear that from? Not that I doubt you, I know so much of the stuff we buy is all made in the same house, but I don't want to take that as gospel if it's just heresay.
feerocknok Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 It's on Rusty's page in the F.A.Q. I believe, and RE admitted to it. They were having problems some years back with their coils sagging, so they found out Rusty's provider and went to them.
jage Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Back in the day I had rusty's springs and one full compression on the driver's side and it was sagging 1-1.5". Replaced with RE springs and they were totally different (at the time ... 1997-ish) Rusty's sucks @$$... I'd rather pay double for the same springs just not to give that Jackweed any more of my money.
DirtyComanche Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Rusty's sucks @$$... I'd rather pay double for the same springs just not to give that Jackweed any more of my money. I'd rather not pay double... I'd just go without.
jage Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Hyperbole my good man... but I have passed up a few purchases because they came with Rusty's, and I have given away Rusty's used parts because I couldn't in good conscience charge money for crap.
DirtyComanche Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I sold all of my rusty's stuff. I explained to the guy who bought it all the short comings with it and what he should change. As far as I know he at least took part of my advice on it. I hope he changed the joints to something better... I didn't give him a choice on their track bar mount, I'd already ribbed it. And same goes for all the hardware - it was replaced with gr8. I wasn't willing to sell it otherwise. As I see it, Rusty engineered a death trap with that LA setup.
