Anyone know what Rusty's charges for their 3" lift with full leaf packs and no shocks? They don't list the kit w/o shocks on their site. Also any opinions about the lift? Ride, flex, handling, and does it sag? Thanks.

As far as I know it's the same price with and with out shocks.

And from what I know Rusty's uses the same spring and coils manufacturer and weights as RE's. And I know RE's ride great so I'd guess so does Rusty's..

I have always heard that their springs (both coil and leaf) are of good quality. Their shocks on the other hand, I have heard the ride rough. I've never heard of their full leaf packs sagging, and most guys will say they flex ok. You could give them a call and see what they can do for you on a lift without the shocks, their website has no provision for this though...

id say its a good bang for you buck for a nice 3" kit. had it and loved it. as for the shocks, they are 33$ a peice. so i would call them and ask them to leave them off and they should deduct 132$. they have good customer service and they do custom orders also. i order most of my stuff from them. they have always done me right

That would be a pretty good deal, $300 for the kit w/o shocks. Some places charge that much for leafs alone. Thanks for the input, keep it coming.
