Default Rustys 3" lift pic request

Anyone running the rustys 3" lift kit, could I see it on your jeep with either 31s 32s or 33s? Just want to see how it sits. Thanks

i just bought this a few weeks ago. it has a rustys 3" lift on it with cut fenders. its got tiny street tires on it right now, but 31s would fit for sure without trimming the fenders. probably 32s would to. 33s probably would rub if the fenders weren't trimmed unless it never sees dirt.

Rusty's 3" with full leaf spring packs and 31" MT/R's right after the lift was completed. Haven't seen this pic in a while, scary looking how clean and unmolested it used to be.

Per your signature, I'd recommend getting new leaf spring packs and not the AAL's.

Nice lookin rig bud thanks for the advice I would if I could afford it but funds are tight and its nearly double the cost of the aal kit. I know aal's aren't ideal But my jeep doesn't sag so it should sit pretty level if not I might get some adjustable shackles.
