I've had the 6.5 for a couple years now. No sagging.
I've beat the crap out of it. Long arms have held up to being pounded on rocks. Skid plates are pretty beef and they've saved my T case a lot lol
I can say their sway bar links suck cause mine wore out in the first 6 months but that's fine cause I don't use the sway bar anymore.

I have ran several different setups on my Tj and Yj, but for my first try at an Xj I went with the Rusty's 3" with the HD coils because I was planning on running a winch bumper. As of now the lift is only 2 months old and is sagging badly both front and rear. The jeep sees only very light duty trail use. I have contacted Rusty's twice now and both times they just try to sell me more stuff. I dont want more stuff, I just want what I paid for. I actually just ordered front spacers and adj. rear shackles from Rough Country to try and help the problem.

Right now I would say that I am lucky to have 2" in the rear and 1.25-1.5" in the front.
