I’ve searched but haven’t found very much information on Rusty’s products. My primary interest is quality. I’m looking at the triangulated four link with air bags rather than springs.

I would appreciate any information from anyone that has experience with their products. As with all vendors I know there are good and bad reports. Please be specific.

Thanks for the help.

I don't know of anyone on here with the Rusty's version, but there are quite a few using the Rock Krawler kit.

I have the winch plate and when the winch was spooled the wrong direction, the plate bent. But otherwise, when winding the winch the correct way, everything works as expected.

Rock Krawler is why you don’t hear about people with Rusty’s 4 link.

I don’t have their 4 link but have their 4” diesel lift and have put 100k on it. I just replaced all the bushing cause I had 1 that went bad but am very happy with all the stuff I’ve got from them. I’m running their upgraded steering as well. I’ve had great customer service.

I’ve run Rusty’s springs on an LJ, and their rock sliders and control arm skids on a Gladiator. I think their stuff is generally well made.)

My only experience with Rusty's is a recently purchased front track bar reinforcement bracket. Seems well made and installed with no issues. Shipped pretty fast also.

My front diesel springs from Rusty’s are sagging like crazy at about the 50k mark. Reached out to them via email about 4 months ago, provided pictures. Still waiting to hear back.

I have 30k on my Rusty's 4" lift on my 23 JTR diesel and still believe its the best lift for the money... i get 36" articulation from groind to the bottom of my 37" tires..... i have one bushing in the front stabilizer length, that's going bad other than that. It's been a great kit, and i've never seen anything packaged as well as theirs.When you get it.... recently retired restoration curator for an air force museum. So strive for quality stuff

I have run Rusty's product on multiple Jeeps for years. Never disappointed. Great value, good designs and products, outstanding customer service. I have known Rusty for years and can attest to "git it done without a lot of fluff and fanfare" mentality. Rusty retired from his business but is still very engaged with the Off Road community and the company continues to thrive.

I use some of Rusty's products, and they are of excellent quality, especially their steering stuff.

I bought some lower control arms skid plates from their site. They were black and looked powder coated in the image. Cost me about $150 or so.
When I got them, they were not painted or powder coated.
I sent them back, with the shipping and the restocking fee, it was about $50 or so dollars difference I lost in the refund.
It kinda left a bad taste in my mouth with Rusty’s.
