i have not personally had any experience with it my one friend has their 3 inch kit and he seems to like it but some hate them seems like you either like it or you dont depends on what ypou want to do with your rig if your into extreme stuff chances your not going to like it from what i hear they wear out rather fast

Yea thats what i have heard is that they wear out fast. nothing hardcore bc down here in the pan handle of florida, we dont have to many hills of any kind.

I had his 3" lift. Ran it for a year and sold it. That guy is still running it 3 years later and said there is no sag. I have his 6.5" leafs and 8.5" coils and they are just now starting to settle in...1.5 years later.

Everyone had a different opinion and experiences. I have never had one bad experience. Hell, I bought a used Rusty's track bar off someone a few years back...ran it for a year or so and broke it. Called him up and talked with him. He said send it to him and he will take a look at it. I guess the track bar had been an earlier model he had produced and had switched to a heavier duty one since. A week later I had a brand new track bar for the price of shipping him one. But like I said, everyone has had different experiences.

i think their lift kits are ok, but i have seen/heard nothing but bad about his steering components.

I like his lift coils. Im running the 6.5" ones. As well as shackles I believe are made by them.

Ive heard his suspension is made from the same people that make RE's coils/leafs. So thats good to know.

Id be happy with your purchase. If youre not call him and see what yall can figure out. Rustys a nice guy to work with. I know a few of his close friends and if hes anything like them hes a jam-up guy to say the least...
