You do that and its just like buying a Harley, all you doin is buying the name! If you want to spend that kinda money, go ahead. But theres lifts out there that are just as good and alot cheaper! I hear good and bad in Rustys lifts. How much lift are you wanting to go with? Also, if i was you id look into Rough Country, they just came out with a new long arm kit for 4.5" and 6.5". A RC 6.5" is fixing to be what im gonna order!.

Also... this post needs to be moved to the right place...

no problems with rustys that i've had so far. i've been running there 3.5 inch kit the one that goes for a little under $500 for about a year and it shows no signs of sagging or wear...i do not doubt that people have had problems but i like to think these problems were with the earlier rustysoffroad and these problems have been resolved a long time ago.

This has been covered so many time on this and just about every other forum out there. IN a nut shell customer service ranges from pure love.... to where the f--- are my parts. Quality range from wow it works great to, what was this part suppose to do.

Personally I do run USED Rusty 808 coils, and I have had them 5 yrs, and they are still right close to original height with decent flex now that they arre broke in.

I have another set of used skycrapper springs, and they are kinda soft.

Curently running some RC springs.. and they are stiff
