I was wonder if anyone knew what the "real" lift height of the Rusty's 3" lift with full leaf packs is?? Will I need coil spacers in the front springs to level it out? Also do they sag quickly?? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks alot!

It should be even. If not, send it back :wave:

I had the 3" coils from that kit in my XJ, and it gave exactly 3" of lift. When I bought a 2" AAL from him, it gave exactly 2" of lift. I'm sure the 3" AAL will be the same.

I dont know, but ive heard quite a few complaints regarding rusty's stuff. Fortunately, they also are known for good customer service. Kinda balances out.

Its not the add a leaf, it's the full spring pack. Sorry about that.

After about a year, my Rusty's 3" spring packs have settled at about 4 1/4" in the rear. The front coils were right at 3", so I added 3/4" spacers.

I don't know if my results were an accident or typical.

I wish it were that simple, if you are dealing with rusty's good luck with actually returning something. I think some of the rusty's parts are pretty good, but the shipping and customer service is by far the worst I have ever seen.
If it were me I would take my business elsewhere, but thats just me....
