Well said Nick, this is always the most important! Don't make a hasty buy, make sure that you are buying good quality stuff, and definitely shop around.

Can we all agree to disagree about quality when it comes to "Rusty's" stuff. I wouldn't use it under any circumstances. I would go back to stock before resorting to a "Rusty's" anything. You may have a different opinion and are free to buy what you want. Just be aware that his stuff has a mixed reputation.

His quality is questionable but I am a person who will buy a product if the service for that product is excellent and I have heard far less from Rusty. I just dont feel like dealing with people whom dont back their own product.

For your information, it's nearly impossible to turn without a trackbar. The axle just shifts over left or right. There's no way you can drive without a trackbar, especially in jeepspeed, unless you are triangulated. been there, done that, went no where.

You need more internet/forum time before making that comment.

I have rusty's oil pan skid plate and guess what? none of the bolt holes line up. The bracket that bolts onto the lower control arms bolts won't even reach the control arm bolts! Now......are they still the best?

wtf? who said my opinion was better? Check out other forums about rusty's stuff. You'll see way too many issues with his products and his service. You can't go around saying Rusty's is the best unless you can back it up. Based on the lack of CS and low-grade products, he's no where near the best.

Who's post-whoring anyways?

stock trackbars hold up better than his.

usually when you spend money to upgrade, you get a better product, this is not the case.
