i have been looking into the different lifts out there and also have been looking though all the posts to get some ideas on what to buy. Everyone seems to like something different. but i have seen alot of talk about this Rusty 4 in lift, any one have any comments on it or thoughts. the other i was looking at was the Rubicon Express 4.5"... i have a 2in BL already running 33's on a 1994 YJ

What do you all think???:)

Apples and oranges. The RE lift is in another category. I've heard little negative about the RE lift.

As for the Rusty's lift, there are a lot of haters out there. But I have the 4.5" lift from Rusty's and LOVE it. For the money, it's an awesome lift. I've had little of the sagging I've been warned about, as a matter of fact, my friend Arturo has the RE lift, which he purchased after me and the difference in the stance between my Xj and his is negligilbe.

Not to mention, Rusty's customer service is as good as it gets. They'll help out with anything.

Bounty Hunter has Rusty's 4" YJ kit. He has had nothing but good things to say about it. The price is certainly right. I would say it would be my choice for a lower-cost YJ spring lift if that's what I were looking for (especially over the recently trouble-plauged Rough Country).

Like Mingez said... RE's extreme duty kit is a high-end, super flexy SUA leaf kit. Hard to compare and the prices reflect that. Is it worth the extra money? Well that depends on what you plan to do with the Jeep.
