Skyjacker are kinda stiff. I have their 3" on mine now. I don't know how Rusty's are. But whatever you decide I will gladly take the extras off your hand

x2 To my knowledge the Skyjackers are stiffer, but its really going to be determined by the shock. Also, this probably should have been posted in Cherokee Chat unless you PUT UP SME PICS when you get her all bolted up!

Sounds to me like if my xj was mainly stock I would use the crusties but if you have extra weight. Bumper winch ext I would use the stiffer coils. The weight will counter and make a good ride and the tougher coils will last longer. I use RC but have extra weight in front and have always been pleased with the ride. Its not a car but its not bad.
