Eh guys, just wanted your thoughts on the rustys 3.5" lift for my saharah. It's a 2012 4 door and I any thinking of putting this on my jeep next weekend, some what new to all of this and am relying on a guy who does a lot of mods like this in my town and he's recommending this lift for me since I use this as my daily driver and will prop not be going off road. Would like some other feed back from you guys since I been reading a lot or your info here and seems there's a lot of well informed jeepers in this forum, thx for your input.

What size tires are you wanting to run and how complete is the kit?

I not running the entire lift but I am running those springs. They are pretty smooth and good for a daily driver but are stiff enough they feel safe and give reliable handling. I know this is a 2 door but it's on 35s so here's an idea of how yours might set. Not the best pics but closest to flat ground I have

Looks great, I will eventually want to put 35's on fuel rims that I all ready have on, I have 31's on now and their nitro's which are in great shape and wanna run them down first, this is the advanced kit which sells for 1350$ on the rustys site which is a step above the basic kit

I have the 3.25" long arm kit and it rides great. Like the previous poster stated a little bit stiffer than stock but not harsh. I got close to 4" on my 2 door so expect 3.25 to 3.5 on a 4 door (Loaded bumpers, winch, ect..). I'm running 37"km2's as the long arm kit limits up travel haven't had to change fenders. You can run 35's no problem but normally 37's require flat fenders. If you want a ride closer to stock look at AEV lifts or EVO plush ride springs

I would encourage you to read the thread that is linked in my signature at the bottom of my post.
I would also wait on a lift until you get the new bigger tires as a JKU looks pretty dumb with 3.5" of lift and 31" tires.

If your friend has done this system before he should have no issues at all.
Will ride great too as a daily driver.
Enjoy!!!

I agree that 3.5" and 31s look pretty dumb. I'd get the tires first.

Thanks for the advice, I feel like if i know myself like I do, I'll prob go ahead and spring for the tires also once I see the lift finished , the guy doing this for me also sells all brands of tires and said he'd give me a killer deal on them if I decided to go ahead and do it, but just wanted to see if this lift was a decent one, also, any idea what my terra grapplers would sell for used, their in excellent shape and the spare hasn't seen the pavement at all, I'm guessing the other four still have about 75 to 80% tread left on them

Depends on where you live really. Some times it's best to accept trades too.
