and i will be getting the full rear leaf packs
thanks in advance

I've just put a 3inch Rustys (full leaf) Kit on my 99 XJ and I couldn't be happier !!


+1 for Rustys, I've heard the rough country can be quite hard which is why I went Rustys and I can barely notice any difference over stock as far as hardness goes, new kit is slightly more flexible but that could be the height !!

Rough Country!!! your not gonna get the LONG ARM kit? thats where you get all your flex...!

i vote rough country but im bias but im anti rustys stuff their track bar broke on my tj and i wrecked withought any offroading hardly

rough country for sure

Rough Country +1

Rough Country

To all of you RC guys... why'd you choose RC over Rusty's?

I've had Ruty's 6.5 inch kit on for about 3 yrs now and have been very pleased with it. Wish I would've went LA instead of SA though!! That's next as far as upgrades go.

I went with Rough Country long arm 6.5" Got great flex now.

rough county for me, my 3' lift kit go here before my xj came out of the shop, and it went in before i bot the lift kit.

price was another issue for me, sorry if you can get something for less and it be better then its a good thing.

+1 for rough county

Rough Country, ships faster, forum discount if you talk to jason, great customer service, great reputation
+1 Rough Country

only trouble I had with R/C I waited a whole week before I finally called them to see where my order was and turned out they never shipped it yet.

well i was leaning towards rough country any way why no votes for rustys lol n i cat afford a long arm kit or trust me i would but this is a high school cashier at a food stores bugeit sorry hahaha

a lot of that is really because of the shocks. with rough country kits, one of the best ways to go is to upgrade to the 9000 shocks. they come stock with the 8000, but the 9's give you a much better ride. i think it's only a $25 upgrade when buying them with the kit.

old neighbor put the 4.5" kit on his son's wrangler with the 9's and the ride was really nice.
