I've had it for nearly 3 years. its decent, but if I had to go back I'd have waited for a nicer kit.

Have not heard much good about them. I had a set of their 3/4 shackles on old home brew kit. The finish peel off with in a week of use. Also had their cat back. It fit great and has lasted so far.
I personally would wait and get a more complete kit. I.E. Rubicon Express. You wont save much going with Rustys stuff. By the time you get all the stuff that RE has in their kits. The price is close + shipping.
Try MotionOffroad.com. Good prices and helpfull tech. (no shipping on most kits)
