Lol man everyone is going to tell you something different because everyone wants to believe they have the best stuff. The Rusty's products I do have are great... I have not had a problem with their steering in 130,000 miles. But I do not run their lift kit... I run the IRO kit and love it... Great product at a great price. www.ironrockoffroad.com

I've got a zone 4.5 on mine. I love it so far. I've taken it mudding quite a bit and its held up through everything. Definitely look into new shocks if you get the zone lift. Its kinda rough for on road riding. Other than that I have no complaints.

Well, i ACTUALLY HAVE a Rustys kit, so i can give advise based on more then "my buddy said they suck"

First off, there packs are fine. have not had a problem with the leafs yet, and yes i wheel HARD

Shocks- These Rusty "white rockets" SUCK!!!!!!! ive blown two sets VERY fast.

Coils- Dont like them, i have a 3 inch kit and they have settled in around 2.6 inches.

Overall its not the best but your not going to die the second you hit "buy" like some of these guys make it seem.
