Motion Offroad Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Shocks For 400 More We have shock sets for as cheap as $167. Our shock kits include 4 shocks; not 2. ;) The reason our kit's don't include shocks is simply due to the fact customer's are picky. We figured we'd let them decide on what they wanted instead of us throwing in a "cheap" set and the customer wanting a nicer set. It's easier to just not include them and let the customer choose what they want. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicofuentes0224 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Between the two, Motion. The Rusty's is cheaper for a reason. Ever heard the line "You get what you pay for." Run a search for Rusty's and Motion on this forum and see what people have said about both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 save up the extra money and go with Motion. I guarantee they have far better parts that will outlast Rustys. Also, Motion has swaybar disco's and rustys doesnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAD_NOT_FOLLOW Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Also, Motion has swaybar disco's and rustys doesnt. And ADJUSTABLE lower control arms vs. non-adjustable. Plus new brake lines not just extensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabz Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 go with motion , Rustys kit is garbage Trust me I bought it and the hole kit just sucks . MY MJ leans to the front DS and the rear springs won't hold any real weight should you decide to use the MJ as a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 hands down motion offroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiNi Beast Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Did I say Motion offroad? Well I'd go with them over Rusty's any time. Rusty's are good for some things but nothing like what your looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 side-note with a comanche, a transfercase drop especially at a 4.5" lift is ridiculous to even consider. there is no need. also if you don't drop the t-case, you don't need to pitch the angle of the axle pinion up as the degree of function doesn't change. if you experience any vibes at that lift from your rear driveshaft, get a YJ slip-yoke, or do the next upgrade (best option) with a slip-yoke-eliminator. motion offroad. $$$ well spent.

BLHTAZ Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Definitely Motion. I have never heard much good about the Rusty's lift kits from anyone. I have two friends that have used them and were completely disappointed, not to mention pissed off, with the results. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I have bought stuff from both companies. Rusty's customer service sucks, and his shipping times are at best variable. On the other hand Adam (motion Offroad) took the time with me to figure out what I wanted. Then he looked up the kit, and it said it wasnt for compatable with my trans... so while on the phone tape measures on both ends, we figued out what had to be done to make it work. Try getting that kind of service from Rusty's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
