Rusty's is out. I bought a 4.5" lift from them 4 years ago. It was $850 shipped to my door. The same lift is probably around $1000, now, knowing them.They rape you on shipping.

I don't recommend buying a 4.5" lift kit with an AAL, even at $495. That is a good price for a 4.5" lift but, AAL will start to sag soon after installation, especially with the added stress of an extended shackle. It really depends on what kind of shape your stock springs are in before you install the AAL.

I have the Rusty's 4.5". The coils flex GREAT but, the rear leafs are stiff as hell.
