I'm running Rusty's rock sliders and 1" drop crossmember, the quality of them is flawless and their tough as nails. I've never had a problem with the company, my only complaint would be the outrageous shipping they charge.

i run rusty's parts (coils, quick discos and stickers and shocks)

I have never had an issue!!! Infact i recommend them highly! their suspension in not mad in house, (like most companies) but their parts are.

There is always going to be a few who dont like them.

Before they had some issues as they are a newer company. every company is going to have issues when they start up. and some select few get caught in that learning curve.... that curve is gone and they are a great company!

I'm running their coils, shocks, trac bar, and leaf springs. As well as a few other parts that I forget the names of. But I've never had a problem with Rusty's.

I have they're 3" full spring pack lift and love it. And BTW, they're NOT a newer company. Founded in 1976. They do have a new warehouse though.

I have one of their t-shirts and it works pretty good. Seriously though, I have their bar pin eliminators and shock conversion brackets and don't like them at all. The fit is horrible, and I had to modify everything to make them work correctly. That being said, I have their air intake bracket and it works well enough.
