RE, Tomken, Rustys, $ky jacker, or combo???? - I read the old posts.

Check out Full-Traction. It's a long arm, but it's quality and rides like a dream on the street.

I love my rusty's lift. this is my second one. started with his 4.5 not up to his 6.5 coils and 6.5 rear leafs. the flex like crazy.

I have RE 4" springs in front with 1.5" spacers and rusty's 6.5 leafs in rear. I'm looking at getting the rusty's 6 inch springs, but I've liked my RE's. Any feedback?

buy a kit and replace parts as they break, no need to spend money on stuff twice if you dont have to....

I have the 8" skyjacker and I like it all except the control arms. I am going to replace them with RE's when I get the cash $470 plus shipping pretty costly after spending $2500 for the lift.

I know rockkrawlers was not listed in the title of the thread, and they have a bed rep. for there older stuff. I have there long arm kit on my xj, with drop shackles in the back. I think it flexes well( with no limiting straps the coils will unseat, and fall out on the trail.) The on road ride is as good as any I have seen. I have been happy with it so far, just my opinion.

I bought the RE6030 kit back in Feb. and later added Rusty's .75 coil spacers and shackels. I've been very pleased with everything! RE parts are holding up awesome, and the perfomance is even better.

I run a rusty's 4.5 in kit. The springs have all sagged in one way or the other. The rear leans to the left and the front sits about an inch lower than the rear. This is mostly due though to the add a leaf that they sent me to fix the sagging. Now the rear sits higher and rides rough as hell. Plan to switch the rear springs out soon, and working to get 6-8 in and 37's next summer.

Sounds like mine. the Rusty's 4.5 springs I have in the rear sagged bad. Front end is RE and have had no problems. I would not buy anything from Rusty's personally. I am putting in the RE 5.5 long arm kit in this winter hopefully. Well, as long as I have the axles ready for the swap. The plan is to run 37s.

For what its worth, My rusty's rear springs were/are sagging too. one side sat 1.5" lower than the other. Called them and they are actually going to send me a couple new leafs to put in the pack free of charge. Granted I have to do the work myself but its better than buying a new pack.

Mine is almost completely RE now. RE FR spring, spacers, trackbar, adjustable LCAs, Nth Mobility UCAs. Rear Daystar Shackles, Rustys Leafs, TW SYE and DS. I love the RE equipment but have peiced mine together rather than getting a complete kit.

I have a complete RE kit. The 4.5 to be exact. I really like it.. the front flexes really well. The rear took a bit to work in, but it flexes well now and i can put stuff in the back without it looking like saggy butt. I really like the kit. The front flexes really well but i realize i need some long arms for the front or some drop brackets at this height. I tested the flex without shocks and my droop is only limited a little over one inch by my shocks, but i have excellent compression. I trimmed so that i would have good stuff. I consider stuffing more of a factor than droop since it really keeps your CG down.


No matter what try to make a balanced suspension so your front doesnt do all the flexing.
