I don't see a question in that entire post.

So... What's the question? Which lift to go with? Rusty's hands down.

 

[dirtbikestud66]

ya wich one is best for the money

 

[dirtbikestud66]

i can i drive it for a little while with out a SYE

 

[LilRedRover]

Rustys over rough country, but neither in my opinion... and no you probably can't drive it without an SYE at 6.5 inches

yep get a porc sye around 200 or less shipped to your door best deal great product been running it with 8 inches lift for over 2 years now...6.5 is enough lift to have some high driveline angles so its needed...avoid if you have the cash a tc drop...get it done and get it done right with a sye

I have the 6.5" Rusty coil springs and used the rear leaf pack off a GMC Jimmy and 1.5" boomarang schackles and an AA SYE. Set up works really good and costs allot less.
Coils - $150 + shipping
GMC rear leaf pack (junk yard) - $30
Boomarang Schackels - $90
Total - $270

would a TC drop kit get me around for a little

 

[redneckjeeper94]

yeah for a little while till you get a sye thtas what im running 6 inch rustys lift with a tcase drop

I have been wheeling my Jeep for about 3 years with the same lift. Its a 4.5 Rough country with spacers and TNT shackles. People bash Rough Country left and right. Then there are the guys that bash Rustys left and right. I think they are all about the same for a short arm Kit. Think about it they consist of Coils and leafs, and they all wear out. I mean I have full leafs and after 3 years my Jeep sits level. I dont bash one item and like another. I bought my lift because it was cheap at the time. I have since upgrade to good components(soon LA) but I still run the same leafs anf coils.

rusty's 6.5 with widtrack hp 44 front and 35's

i just ordered the 6.5 lift from rough country and eagerly still waiting,but anyhow i went with the rc lift because of the adjustable contral arms.i was going to order a sye but was told a longer driveline and a yoke off a yj is just as good and cheaper

 

[dirtbikestud66]

ya i can make a longer driveline, so i think that im going to go that way

I thought you already had a trail rig? Building another? Reading through your posts, sounds like maybe you want to go bigger on your current trail only rig?

Buy neither, get the RE6200 kit IMHO.
