I have put in 2 Rusty's 3" lifts , one add a leaf and one full spring pack. Both have Rusty's adjustable track bar and have done nothing else to either. They both go down the road beautiful, straight smooth and no vibrations and one has 237K on it. For future reference what are the problems with Rusty's control arms ?

 

Most people complain about bushing failure but they're stock style bushings so they're cheap and affordable.

 

i have rough country 4" rear packs, pro comp nitro shocks and lower control arms and front springs that are 3" with a 3/4" spacer. i removed my front and rear sway bar, so sway bar links dont matter to me. i noticed no difference in ride or handling from removing my spay bar, but got better flex. it has 31's, and it is my daily driver, and personally i have no problem with rough country. i have heard their newish x-flex control arms are junt, but as far as springs.....i like mine. my pro comp springs sagged out from 3" to 2.5", so im gonna get either different springs or adjustable spacers. leaning towards adjustable spacers.

This is my daily driver, and i have 30,000 miles with this set up, and not really any problems. it is a stiffer ride than stock, but i dont mind. with my manuel and stock gearing i still get decent mileage still as well, 16 as a low and up to 21, but averaging around 17 or 18. my dads automatic with 3.55's averages 17 mpg, and its stock. i guess its just driving habbits and i think the transmission has something to do with it.....but as stated, everyone is gonna say bad things about every lift. if you part a lift together, you can do the best, and probably stay within your budget. if not, look at rough country. they make a kit that gives what you want for the price you want. and if something fails in the near future, you can replace it with something better. sorry to be the one to tell you, but jeeps are money pits.....there are so many things to buy, and you just cant stop lol
