Ok so im trying to fig out which lift is the best to buy for my money i was gonna get the 4.5 rough country long arm lift but i heard today that theyre no good and to go with a rustys 4.5 lift so i was wondering if anyone on here would mind helping me out with deciding on a lift i wonna be big enough to run 32's

Rustys is far superior to RC, RC is a branch of Hecklethorn, which was the primary lift components in the mid to late 80's. Rustys focus is on one thing and one thing alone. Mainly the XJ but they build some stuff for most Jeep Models. Everything I have is from them, I run a 5.5 all the way around, trimmed fenders and run 35's with a little rub at full flex. Rustys also gets you your parts next day at no extra charge, just depends on how far from Rainbow City, AL you are. And I still run my short arms but only bc I refuse to pay premium for long arms when I can build my own shortly, and the joints will come from Rusty tho.
