Rusty's VS. Rubicon

[Markford]

I was wondering is the Rubicon 4.5" lift worth the extra hunred dollars over the Rusty's?

Also which one is higher (i know they say 4.5 but you know how it is)


Thanks for the imput

Well I don't have any personal experience with the rusty's, but a friend of mine has the 4.5 in RE and he loves it. It is a couple of years old, but sag free. When I finally go that high I am pretty sure it will be RE.

Stay away from Rusty's lifts. The 3 inch lift and the 4.5 lift will sag over time, I know I have one. I plan on upgrading to the rubicon express lift. The 4.5 lift almost looks like a 6 inch lift with 31's on it.


If I had to do it all over again I would have gone with Rubicon Express. Oh well.


I hope this helps.

I love my RE. You can bump it up to 6" by swpping in ZJ coils adn getting some shackles for the rear. Just cost the $80 for the shackles extra. RE will swap the coils at no charge. That's what I'm running.

Yup. I had to put a 1.75" spacer up front on top of the factory isolater with my RE 4.5" kit just to get it level. Stock rear shackles + RE1462 leaf packs and XJ 4.5" coils with 1.75" spacers = 6.5-7" of lift on mine!!! In 6 months...no sag yet.
