Well my grandpa was a pro drag racer and it was basically built free with sponsor parts. It had NO flex, were talking triple shocks at all corners and like 9" thick leaf packs. You put all that into a young guys hands with females watching, its a disaster. At least it had a good roll bar.!

Im about to put rustys 9" coils on my MJ, I dont think it will be too tall. But im kinda nervous. Im at 6.5" now and not tall enough. But I had NO experience, thats why it flipped. I know today I could keep it on the rubber.

Well if you do let me know what you want for your 6.5 coils, rustys I assume?

What im curious about is all there other lifts and springs have a set number, like 4.5 or 6.5. These say 8.5-9". Is that because they are so soft? I'd like to know with a beefy bumper and warn 10k, will this give me 9" or 8" or maybe even 7"? I want them to be real flexy so I'd be ok with 7" lift on a soft vs 9" on a stiff one. Any thoughts?

With a bumper and winch expect about a 1/2" drop ill put it this way, I bought a set of rc 6.5 " coils and put them up to my rustys 4.5 and they were the same height the rustys had twice as many coils too, the rc was stiff as a board, took them back out and gave them away
