Rustys vs rough country? Long arm??
I'm converting to a long arm setup soon but I can't decide who to go with. I'm deciding between the rough country long arms or the rustys setup. They are almost the same in price. I already have all my springs so I'm just looking for the crossmember and upper and lower arms. Both use a high clearance lower arm setup, both are trusted brands, I just don't know! I like how the rc crossmember has a t case skid equipped so that may be the tie breaker. Please let me know what you think experts I'm all ears.

I would choose RC over Rusty's just because you get a lot more for the money (Rc is almost $200 cheaper). RC and Rusty's are about the same in quality in my book. The t-case skid and crossmember is pretty nice in the RC kit. Just buy a spare set of joints if you go with RC.
I think the Rough County vendor gives 10% off to us? Correct me if i'm wrong.
