willboy said:The street handling of the long arm is good. I have had other vehicles with less that were alot worse. I added a boost on top of the 6 in to get 8. I run 33X12.50's and no trimming. He does use stock type rubber bushings. I haven't noticed any limiting of articulation. The thing about the quality you have to realize with Rusty's is something most people seem to disreagard. You get what you pay for. There is a reason why you can get into a 6 in lift for under a grand shocks included. What do you have to spend for an RE, 1500? Now if you know that going in and treat the product as such you will be happy with it. Don't expect and RE lift for the price of a Rusty's lift though.
Here's some recent test shots.

Also beware of his steering conversion. IT SUCKS!!! And its extremely weak. It was so weak that when my buddy put it on his rig, the thing would flex so much that all you had to do was move the steering wheel side to side and the knucle to knucle tie rod would bow approx. 2" up and down.
