Rustys is great stuff everybody tries to say they ride rough But from my experience They ride A whole light smoother than Rough country. Bumper looks to be pretty nice too.

was it AAL cause the leaves are the heaviest part?

ive installed a rustys full pack 3" went in good and rides decent. Dunno about RC but it isn't as smooth as my BDS but its also 1/2 the price

I would say they are solid purchases

I have a Rusty's 6.5" kit on my 96 that rides pretty decent for being short arms. As far as quality, I have had this on for ~4 yrs now and I abuse it every chance I get. Nothing has broke or left me thinking I did.

i had to replace pretty a whole rustys kit after two years of wheeling it. blew the shocks within the first 6 months, snapped the track bar 2nd time wheeling, finally to top it off i broke a leaf before i ripped everything rustys off my jeep.

Well I appreciate everyone's concerns! If everyone loved every aspect of RC or Rusty's etc. then there would be only one manufacturer.
I had another XJ that I bought and the previous owner had Rusty's everything on it. I absolutely loved it but had to sell it my fiance is wearing it on her finger now.
Anyway, this is my second attempt on a beautiful XJ and I'm NOT selling this one!
I have already begun the daily "PB blaster bath" regimen in anticipation of a "rusty removal." I'll keep you posted.

If you can find this product I highly reccomend it. It's called Areo-Kroil. No other penetrating lubricant comes close to it as far as rusted bolts and such. It's spendy but works excellent.
