just like the title! someone listed some 6.5 leafs from rustys for $150... said there still on his XJ and he will take off when they sell... they worth it or are they labeled crap/trash? thanks!

 

Trash. My honest opinion I wouldn't put Rusty's on my jeep if someone gave me the entire lift kit. (my opinion) I would go Rough Country. I have put my jeep through hell and back and back again and my lift has held up great. I've had Rubicon express, Fabtech and Rough Country. I order a lift from Rustys ans they pissed me off really badly and my friend put a rustys lift on his cherokee and one of the shocks actually blew. Like it blew a small hole in the side of the shock wall. Fabtech was ok I had the Fabtech on a Toyota tacoma the the front drop down bracket actually bent (indep. front susp.) Bent badly. And Rubicon was ok but kinda rough. My Rough Country has been by far the best lift i've had

 

thanks for the opinion! any others out there? i always like to try and get a few...

 

from what i understand there are only a few major company's that make springs........

 

Rusty's leafs and most other things are great products.

What most don't know or want to admit is Rusty and Rubicon Express both use the same leaf and coil manufacturer now.

I'd say buy them.. Good product.

 

How do you know that? Can you prove it and what company do they both use?

 

hey id say get 4.5 springs with a 2 inch shackle, better flex

 

I know that cause I called both Rusty's and Rubicon Express when I had a question about the leafs, coil and rates. I can't recall the company name but it's out of Canada in the Windsor area.

Oh and Rough Country also uses the same supplier.

 

I find that hard to believe, why would three national competing companies use the same manufacturer. I know of two companies on little Long Island that all make there own springs.

Plus right on Rusty's home page it says in huge lettering.
Made in The USA.

 

Yep i know it does.

MOST his parts are made in the USA his leafs and coils are not.

Out of all the lift kit company's out there they all use like 3 main suppliers for Leafs, coils and shocks.

I know of alot of small company's that make there own leafs and coils. But other than Old Man Emu, I don't be leave at this time any of the other lift kit company's make there own.

 

sure maybe his controll arms,bumpers and other in house fabricated things are...they use the same spring manf because they make good products at a cheap price and can meet there demand..........

 

Very true....

First words about their springs.

I'm not trying to win a war here. Things like demand I can understand. True. But if its advertised "Made in the good ole USA" lets not give canada credit where credit isn't due.

Lets give the OP his thread back. Huntingman, I would not buy some ones junk just cuz the price is right. There must be a reason he wants them off is Jeep and willing to let them go so cheap.

 

junk, they will break later on.

 

i have know idea where the springs for any of those companies are made, what i do know is they are not made in house because when i ordered my lift from rough country i had to wait for the rear springs, till they got another shipment of them.
