4.5" re or 4.5" 4wd hardware

[MT Mike]

Need some opinions on which is a better suspension. Both packages look good on paper, but can't find anyone who has used the 4wd hardware kit. Am currently bone stock in an 89 2dr, looking to run 31 or 32s, mostly just trail riding. Ran every search I could think of.....no luck. Any advice, opinions, etc. would be great. Thanks

Don't know if this helps or not fwiw installed a 3" 4wd kit on a buddies tj last summer. It was a well thought out kit and he's wheeled it pretty hard. I think it actually ended up 3.5 or 4 inches and didn't settle much, so the spring rates appear to be set up for someone with bumpers/armor. I know it's not an xj kit, but we had good luck with the company.

Ok.....what about Rusty's 4.5".....I am mainly looking for opinions on which is best for the money.....and how people feel these suspensions "feel". This is a daily driver, but I drive gravel daily, and like to run trails at least 1 or 2 times a month.
