I'm looking at getting a rustys 4.5 inch lift for my 2001 jeep cherokee sport was wondering if there are any problems with them

 

Some members on here have issues with them, and don't like their customer support. But that's what i hear on CF.

 

welcome to the forum! I hear mixed reviews about rustys. more bad than good. what other companies are you considering?

here is a rustys review

haha wow there is almost no middle ground in those posts on your link, people either love them or hate them with a passion. I guess its kindof hit or miss to go with rustys, I have a few parts from them and they have worked pretty well, but there are so many different companies out there it pays off to do your homework.

 

Didnt do much research on them heard mixed thoughts on the track bar but nothing else my cousin just put a 4.5 rustys on his xj looks rly nice just wanted to get some opinions

 

I think they are pretty good, but there are a lot of other similar kits from other companies out there, I'd look around to see what your options are. And maybe wait to see what your cousin thinks of it after some trail time.

 

sounds like you dont really know what you need. you've got a lot of research to do

Ran rustys lift for 2 years with decent bit of wheeling...never broke a thing. I am a rustys fan...actually running rustys leafs and Rubicon express stuff now. If you want look at my build thread for my pieced together lift. Look at serious offroad for killer prices on re stuff.

how good are these lifts?

 

^^haha...there is more im sure. Id vote rustys over rough country and Rubicon express over both them. Rustys has always given me good service.

 

Thx for all the help and welcoming to the site all the questioned i typed in Google refered me to here so I had to join I joined another forum a good bit ago didn't get any answers though just want a good 4.5 inch lift for the jeep that's not gunna be a piece of junk

 

Id honestly piece together a lift. I got rustys leafs, re coils, re heim chromoly trac bar, re superflex adjustable arms and basic hydro shocks for like 750...ill upgrade to bilsteins when cash permits

 

Seems to be more common today.

 

Hell. It would have been 680 for a rustys...I decided to spend more on arms and got a deal on coils...trac bar is a tank!!!! Here is pics
