I am all for rusty's stuff. but their long arms leave alot to be desired....


specially in the warranty department....

let me see If I can find the pictures... 3 of their lower arms bent pretty bad out in AZ.

we have 4 rusty's kits, 2 RC kits, 3 full customs and then me on short arms (with long arm flex)

Depending on the amount of money you want to spend I personally would go with BDS they offer alot of cool things for a long arm kit and they have decent deals all the time but I also will say that rustys is a good product to

I've personally never have done a rear coil kit but I know there out there and stuff but I would go with BDS for a rock crawler because I have BDS's sister company lift called Zone and basically zone is just BDS products with Zone logo in them. Zone only offers a 4.5 lift but let me tell you my jeep sits about 5.5 and I have 35's with the rusty cut outs and nothing stops me from climbing lol 0iiii0

Zone's biggest lift is a 4.5 but then if you want a 6.5 you go to BDS and no I have adjustable lowers and stock uppers witch need to be replaced lol , and I hade a question for you and do you have stock gears in your jeep with 35's
