Rustys 4.5 will full packs

TheGnu! · 06-26-2005, 10:54 PM

What are everyone's comments on this lift who owns it? I am really looking for a lift that rides well on the street. Is there anything else I am going to have to buy with this kit?

SYE CV drive shaft, Tires, rims, and with the size tires that you will want with that lift, you should just swap in a new axle. If u want a good ride get that kit, but order diferent shocks, not rustys go with OME one you lifta vehicle you open a can of worms, things start needing to be upgraded, my advise is lift it slowly and buidl up to that level.

i like mine, i had rusty's 3" on my old jeep and the 4.5" on my new jeep.

the 4.5" rides alot nice then the 3".

get brake lines, sye/shaft.

i'm still riding on a t.c. drop and shims, i have the sye/shaft but still haven't installed them yet.

No need for new brake lanes, just relocate the stock ones. IMO, if you order the kit, request some 3.5" leave and extended shackles. It will give u a softer ride and flex better, this is the only thing that i wish i had done differently. The lift is great though, awsome quality.

that isnt necessarily true at all, if he has the chrysler 8.25 he can easily have a 33 on there...now dana 35 thats a whole nother story

Im running 33's fine right now. As long as your not locked you dont need anything bigger. A dana 35 is plenty strong to handle 33's unlocked. Might as well go for it all at once because trying to "build" up ends up costing alot more money then the initial buying of the kit. I'm realizing that now.
