the ends on the rustys are huge coarse threads with no jam nuts. lots of play.......and IMO not so safe.

I don't know I have debating between this kit and others for the last month or so and I think I may just go with this one. You just can't beat it for the price. I think I may wait a little longer though just for some more reviews to come out. Somebody on JF was supposed to post some pics of the 4.5" LA flexed out today but he hasn't yet... that will be awesome to see.

Then sir, you obviously haven't seen their disconnects. Junk! Do not waste your money at least on those. I ordered a set and sent them right back, hell the quick release pins didn't even line up.

back to lift discussion.

Which disconnects did you get? The old generation or the new generation? Old ones had a removable center piece and two pins holding it on and these are clunky-crap. New ones are adjustable and use one pin at the bottom bolt. I have the new generation discos and they are quite nice.

Bingo, the old style are a bust. I didn't know I had a choice. I returned those and bought JKS; man they're sweet.
