Rustys 6.5" long travel lift
Anyone have one of these lifts? Good reviews? Bad reviews? Good choice? Good flex?

I've never run a RUSTYS lift but I have seen a lot of good say about his product. I would say it's a good kit. Hopefully someone who has that kit will pitch in

About to install one on a 1987 Jeep Comanche. Other than the rear springs, it will be identical to the Xj kit. Once finished, I'll post some pics.

If you want a quality lift kit call B. Lee's Offroad
The 3 link long arm kit is unmatched..he also sells RE gear so he can hook you up with everything needed for the 6.5"

I have that exact setup, it came on the Jeep when I bought it. The rear springs are stiff & don't flex alot but the XJ goes where you point it. The front has a ton of flex.
If I were in the market for a new LA kit I'd probably look at other kits just based on the price of Rusty's kit. But I have no plans on replacing the lift other than possible doing a Bastard pack in the rear later.

So I went online to b lees off-road. The 3 link kit its lead if 800 dollars. And they don't carry a 6.5 inch lift. Anybody have have an suggestions for a lift that has pretty good flex and travel? I'm still leaning towards the rustys long travel kit.

Dumb question. Do you really intended to offroad the thing? Most don't other than urban wheeling.
You can get a LA kit & add any size lift coil to it.

It is my daily driver but I have some pretty gnarly wheeling areas to close to my house not to go wheeling. That's why I want a quality long arm kit so I know it will last. And can handle some abuse.

What about the iron rock critical path 6.5 inch long arm lift? Anyone running that? Good? Bad? Flex?
