holy wow i wish i had seen it instead of my rc 3in ive spent about that much and thats without lower control arms, adjustable trac bar, sway bar drop, or extended brake lines. Definatly go for it imo if your gonna do a t-case drop call em up to see if you can get the t-case drop crossmember. After looking at that kit im quite mad that i just jumped in and bought the rc kit. good luck to you.

I started out with the Rusty's 4.5 inch lift on my Jeep. I've had in on for 4 years now and I like. At first I thought the coils were too soft and the leafs were too stiff but, it has all settled and now it is great. My only gripe with Rusty's is that their shipping charges are horrible.

Default just installed

i just installed my 4.5 inch spring pack yesterday. i have not got the front end aligned yet so i can't really vouch for anything but the way it looks. i think it looks freaking awesome. i bought the whole kit, lift tires and rims for 1470.00. but the shipping was right at 250 to 270. one or the two. it was a lot but i did recieve everything in about 2 business days. i ran into some problems. trying to removed the studs on the tc crossmember and could not figure out how the rear brake line extender mounted. i will call them tomorrow and hopefully they can tell me. as of right now i would say deffinetly go for it.
i will post pics when i get everything done so you can see
