Zone Off Road 3" - found one I can get for $409 plus shipping. Will need trackbars
OR
Rusty's 3.25" $550 plus shipping will need bumpstops, sway arms and brake ext.
Should I give the new guys a shot or go with the 20 yr veterans.....

The other kit for $409 is without track bars, which are at least $150 each, which puts it to $709 plus shipping....and who knows that brand or how cheap the everything is in the kit?
The Rusty's kit for $550 doenst come with any swaybar links, bump stops, brake line brackets or anything and the track bars look cheaply made. So by just adding $100 for swaybar disconnects, your already at $650 plus shipping...not including the bump stops and rear sway bar links and you still be chancing the cheap looking track bars.
The Full Traction kit is $695 with shocks and it doesnt need track bars because it comes with drop brackets. It also comes with everything else you need, including swaybar quick disconnects which are about $100 alone.... plus free shipping, not to mention the well known quality you get with Full Traction
Anyway, I was just giving you my opinion on which kit I would buy for that price range

I appreciate your opinion but I have the e-disco and most everything I have read says that trackbar relocators are definitely not the way to go...
alsòhow does the track bar "look" cheap?
thanks again for your input....

The bars themselves are very sturdy. I know for a fact.
The only thing I don't like about them is that they use simple inexpensive bushings on each end. Most track bars today have been upgraded to heim joints or Jonny Joints on at least one side of the track bar.
I bought mine back when just about everyone used regular bushings. So a few months back I upgraded my ends with johhy joints.
The original configuration held up well to all the abuse I gave them, over the last year.
According to Rusty's, the spring are made so that you don't need aftermarket bumpstops
