Longarm upgrad kit

[98ZJ59L]

Hi all, I wanted to find out if any one here uses Rustys offroad longarm kit, is it any good, is it worth the price?? I like the price for there upgrade kit as it's in my rang, and if I get it I plan to reinforces the frame even more.

i have heard that rustys stuff is not good. but i have never had anything from them so i cannot say that from experience.

yeah i heard the same ya cant go wrong with re and its well worth saving your money and waiting thats what ive been running and there great but it is a little $$$$$$$$$$

Thanks guys for the response, I'm not to familiar with rustys stuff so thanks. What have you guys heard about rustys??

I have bin looking at re and the price is to high but I do like the way there set up is.

just like the quality of the product i heard from one g guy that the bushings on his track bar feel right apart after two months. just stuff like that.


oh and a guy locally said that he broke one of his lower arms when he hit a rock not even very hard and it snapped in to.

I have seen pictures of a rusty's trac bar that snapped in half on NAXJA.

I have never heard anything bad about claytons long arm upgrade or tnt customs kit either. I don't know how those compair in prices to RE, but it would be worth checking out.

For what it's worth, I have RE LA's and my friend John has Rusty's LA's. He's an inch taller in lift (about 6.5), however I'll out-flex his setup all day long and RE's is substantially better riding.
I know TnT is cheaper, however I'm partial to RE plus the LA mounting is different. TnT mounts to the belly skid, whereas RE mounts to the unirails and the skidplate has an easily removable center, allowing maintenance and trail repairs without dropping the front suspension.

Dam rustys got one bad rep. Well in that case rustys out thanks guts for that info.
I think it's going to be between RE and Claytons. I was looking at clayton last night and I like that it reinforces the unirails but there's welding but I know some one how could help with that. RE I like there set up too but I think I would have the unirails reinforce too.
So it will be between thous two.

Dunno if you know about this but...

Jeep XJ Suspension Lift

Better than Rusty's IMO. It also comes with a transfer case skid plate.

So that will fit my front than??

[alwaysxj]

i don't know it is will fit but i would give them a call and talk to jason he is the guy you want to talk to he will give you a deal so i have been told.

[98ZJ59L]

That's cool to know, I'll do that. Looking at the install instructions looks like it might.
Thanks

i got my re long arm and tnt customs unibody brace they both work well together but you just have to cut a spot out for the skid

i gotta say r.e. screws up all the time and sends the wrong stuff. i would look at claytons, iron rock and kevins if you roll a zj. i think as far as rustys goes their springs are legit, outside that who knows. but r.e. i would never buy from them my self, i would rather watch american idol than buy r.e. too many screwed up orders

Oh drats, I didn't see that you had a grand cherokee. I'm not sure if it will fit or not. Hmm....
