6"-7" lift

[shimmy]

i run a 6" lift currently with fixed control arms from rusty. can i add a coil spacer to make it 7" without changing my control arms or adding the RE control arm drop brackets?

Yes you can. My buddy has a 96XJ with the Rusty's fixed upper and lower control arms with 6.5" springs and 2in spacers. Making it sit a 8.5"s. It also rides and flexes well.

I have Rustys adj. arms and 6 inch springs front and rear with 2 inch spacers
and sackles for 8 inches total I ran the stock mounts and it drove real nice at first .the angle of the control arms is scarry and wore out bushings real fast (last set lasted less then 6 weeks)giving tons of death wobble and worn parts after I installed RE brackets all that went away that was in Oct...

You're really better off getting the drop brackets, even with your 6" lift.

They'll give you 3-4" more droop, what other reason do you need?

He has all Rustys parts. Fixed upper and lower control arms, trac-bar bracket w/ trac bar. 6.5in springs, 2in spacers. He has had it on for about 4 months and i still rides great.
