Rusty’s uses thicker metal, has some bends and some welds. Rancho all nicely cut and fit pieces that are welded. The Rancho seems to make up for thinner metal by having larger ears and lower bracket, though I haven’t put them on so don’t know if those could create more contact or less suspension travel.
Both use same grade hardware

Nice comparison!

Did you have track bar deflection from a lift, or is this preventative?

Just ordered as preventative and haven’t put them on. Waiting to get the JT in for the steering tsb before do that and RK track bar for fear of dealer denying service.
My wife’s JLUR drives like a go kart so I think I’m going to defer hers, who knows they might make it worse just by messing with it. I don’t need to change it just to get the new box, seems great with old one. My JT however has large dead spot, etc. very different.
