Rusty's 8" Instal

[Big Red]

It's nice seeing a late late model XJ lifted like that. Good work. How did U get the "Rustys" logo to light up on the control arms? What dana 44's are U looking for xj 44 for the rear and hp44 up front? That would be a good combo.

Thanks! The Rusty's Logo on the arms don't really light up, just a reflective sticker... We put the lift on in a place that makes road signs so we had some fun with the plotter. I'm not sure about the axles right now, but that is what I want to do.

I see alot of people saying that. I think 8" is a good amount for 35's. You don't need to worry about rubbing when flexing and you don't have to cut alot of fender out either. I don't think it handles too bad on the street either, the cg seems ok. I say "it" cause that's what I had on my XJ and I liked it, once I got rid of some Rusty's stuff :rattle: , but that's a different story.

Overall, it's a nice jeep.

Are you using the 8.5-9 inch coils he sells...and are u using coil spacers?

 

[jeepcrazed4x4]

I'm gonna stay with 35's, they fit perfectly. And yes those are the 8.5-9 inch coils, no spacers.
