Rustys Dealer?
Hey guys im in the market for some hd steering upgrades and lca brackets and I think ive decided to go to Rustys Offroad. I took a look through the vendor section and couldnt find a dealer for rustys products. Anyone know if theres a rustys vendor on here or a way to get a good deal from rustys? Id like to show another member some love if at all possible. Thanks

Just an FYI from someone who's bought Rusty's set up - skip it. Lots of slop and not the best quality. Rusty's springs are good, but that's the only thing I'd ever recommend from them. Plus their shipping is outrageous. If you're wanting to help a fellow CF member, talk to FrankZ about his Serious Offroad 1-ton set up. Very beefy.

You'll find out that their adjustable trac bars are weak. Mine broke going down the highway the other day. Barely over a year old. But the rest of the lift is alright.

Well damn. I dont really need to run a 1 ton setup tho just something a little better than stock since I dont wheel too often. I wrecked and broke an lca bracket off the axle so i planned on getting their hd lca brackets also. Any ideas on the best brand to run? I was just gonna get a new drag link and tierod and ends for now unless I find out my trackbar is bent like I think it might be :/

I'm gonna try their 22mm trac bar and see how it runs just because their giving me a deal on it. It originally had the 11/16 and it just wasn't big enough

My rustys trac bar with HD mount broke at their weld just as I came off the freeway...lost control doing 35 and landed on the sidewalk...could only imagine 65 on the freeway.
One bad seed out of tons of people? Maybe but I'd stay away from their steering parts. Shipping is horrible, but aside from that I like them. |

I guess it's one of those 'you get what you pay for' type situations. I'd pay a little more to know the welds and fabrication were done by experienced professions. Little more expensive but the peace of mind is priceless. :thumbup: |
Rustys steering sucks period.
But I still recommend everything else rustys over zone, rc, or other low end brands. I live right next to one of their largest dealers, I've met and spoke with rusty himself in person, and really support everything they do (with the exception of steering) |

I met with him at a local event and he came off as a nice guy.

Me too I met him at York jeep show and in worked at one of his biggest dealers in Md he was nice when you show interest in buying his stuff then when it comes to warranted he acts like his parts never have issues |
I agree with nordplz.
Sounds like a zj tierod would be fine for you |
