Default Call Rusty's, Don't order online.

I ordered the stuff for my lift today. After I looked what the shipping was online I had to call them and ask why so much. The lady on the other end passed me off to someone else and he told me that the online system doesn't take into account that you can put more then one thing in a box. My shipping went from 90 bucks to 60. Pretty good I think.........

So I've heard alot of complaints about rusty's shipping but if you call them they seem to wanna work with you a little on it.

Most of the time you can save money on shipping by going to a local shop that carries offroad accessories. We have a shop here named Truck Customs Inc., and I ran up there and placed an order for the Rough Country 3" lift; it came out to be $280 for the lift and shipped to the shop. Saved about $90.00 doing it that way.

Just a thought.

I strongly disagree. I've bought products from him for 5 years now and will continue to buy from him.

The Rusty's is good or bad debate is as heated as the old stick or manual.

To each there own.

absurd yet succinctly accurate...unless you have the wool pulled over your eyes and don't care to do some research

Jeez......

You know I bought bumpstops and a pair of coils, and some hardware to do my bastard pack.

I wouldn't buy a long arm kit from rusty's. They make better ones. They cost more but rusty's is good for the price.

Everything I bought was made in america and I actually talked to rusty. Beat that in a nationwide advertised business.
