Default Rusty's 3.25 lift help

I am interested to see who has used the 3.25 coil spring lift from Rusty's. I really want to know how much lift the front is verses the rear. Does any one know?

I don't run this setup on my JK, but back when I had my XJ I ran it for a few months and I was not happy with it and upgraded to RE. But that was probably close to 10 years ago so I am sure they have improved since then.

Currently I am running the Rough Country 2.5" spacer kit, they have a 3.25" kit (coil+spacer) and a 3.5" kit if you're looking for a comparable kit that also is in the same price range...

Hope this helps

I'm running the Rusty's 3.25" on my jku. Gave me over 4" initially. So far has been a good lift for the money

I currently have the RC 2 1/2" spacers. I has 2 1/2" front and 2" rear. I am looking for a lift that only gives about 1/2 difference between front and rear with around 3 inches front. I talked to RC today and the 2 1/2 spring and 3 1/4 spring/spacer lift have 1" difference. Maybe I am being to picky. The 3 1/2 does look good tho.

Ryan,
Do you know what difference between front and rear is? Or did it lift both the same amount?

I didn't measure it but you can look at my photos. I am running rusty's 3.25. I have been very happy with it. I lost very little even with all the weight I added.

I honestly didn't measure it but it seemed to lift it fairly evenly. I installed a bumper and winch so I put some 3/4" spacers up front to level it. If you need I can measure the front and rear to see the difference

I have the 3.25 and it leveled the frt with rear. After bumper and winch added 3/4 spacer. Been level for a year. Flex great and no issues.
