Default rustys off road parts?

i have a stock 97 limited zj and i have TONS of plans for it


came across this website and was thinking of maybe getting some of there parts.

http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...y_Code=PER_AIR

http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...ode=sus_zj_kit

anyone have any reviews on any of these parts?

dose the exhaust give you a nice deep tone?

can you feel a difference with the air tube?

and my last question. is anything recommended with the lift?
i decided to get a real over a bb but im not made of money so im not looking to spend too much more extra on other parts for the kit.

thank you every one in advance for your respond.

I personally wouldn't hesitate to buy most of Rusty's products. One little tip, call to order. The shipping will be cheaper than ordering online.

I haven't bought from Rustys, but haven't heard any real bad things. I would agree always call to order parts rather then ordering on the net. You will save money on shipping and can save on the parts or modify the kits.
I wouldn't bother with the exhaust, you can get the same thing at most local parts stores or muffler shops for $150 or less.
On the 3" lift, you might look at doing a Front to Rear swap. This is wear you move your front spring to the rear and buy 3" or 3.5" springs for the front. Add a set of shocks and swaybar disconects and you get 3-3.5" lift for less than $300.

I just got a full lift kit from them and didnt expect to get it until a week to week and a half. Instead I got it in 4 days. I had no problems what so ever with them and I would buy from them again.

I'm running several of Rustys parts in my lift and have had no issues with them at all. Everyone has their own preference as to what is the best. Rustys may not be top of the line, but for the money they have a good set up.

NO.

I have friends that swear by rusty's and ones that hate them. It is all a matter of personal preference, and what you are looking for. Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. I am sure that if they made a crappy part they wouldn't be in business anymore.
