Local shop here only uses them and I've seen them take a beating and unlike RC their bushings actually last. I'm running their coils and love them.

I have the 4.5 kit on my XJ and I love it. I also had a 3" on my old XJ and it did great also.

I just bought a set of coils and leaf packs that were supposed to be 6", but running the part numbers say Rusty's 6.5" for $200 locally (little bigger than I originally wanted..), hopefully come spring I'll be able to have a good review on them lol

There is some bad stuff out there about their track bars but.... Um yeah Im running one. LOL Had their 4.5" 10 years ago and it was great. Im running a 3.5" and shackles with a spacer now and love it. I have had no issues at all and have enjoyed their products. But.......... I have not run any other company so I dont know how they would compare. I like them though!!!

I've been using them for years. My 4.5 is going on its 5th year. Rear bushings show a little wear but that's to be expected. Coils are awesome but switching over to RE 5.5 so I can get rid of the 2in spacer. If rusty made a 5.5 i would picked it up

Never had an issue with any of their stuff I've run.

You will hear from some that they have bad customer service, but I've only had outstanding customer service when I've needed it.

Track bar issues are with the one that uses a tie rod end on the frame side, bigger lifts get a rebuildable joint and work great.
