xjrev10 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 We don't recommend Rustys. Too many customer service issues over the years. Look into Hell Creek Suspension 4.5 lift leafs and Iron Rock, Zone, Rubicon express front suspension stuff. I run the Hell Creek leafs, (3") Iron Rock Off-road adjustable control arms, IRO coils, IRO double shear track bar (highly recommended), and Bilstein 5100 shocks and LOVE the setup. The leafs took awhile to break in but after driving around for 100 miles with 300lbs of sand in he box and hauling the jeep on my trailer with the sand from MN to UT, they broke in nice!

Not trying to be an @$$, but I have went the cheap route wound up costing me double, because I wasn't going to pretend I was on PBR bull while driving my truck! Trust me if your gonna drive this thing on the road with any consistency, save your money and do it right the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The only parts I bought new were the HC leaf springs. Everything else was used, hand me downs, from friends or bought on different Forums. You don't have to settle for a junk lift to have a cheap high quality lift.

Do it right the first time and be done with it. If you can't afford to do it right, it's not worth doing. I also failed to mention I run 'white' rear shocks because when I was shopping, Bilsteins where on back order. I'll probably keep the white shocks. I also bought the control arms used. The stuff is out there, just have paypal cash ready and you can save lots of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
