Rusty's 4" lift WOW... easily clears the 37's

[Teqsand]

Wow what an amazing lift. Gave me a bit over 4" and easily clears the 37's...
I come from a background of road course corvettes, but I can't break old habits so I drive my 23 JTRD like a sportscar, love the serpentine road going into the base i woek on
... this lift made the platform solid and fun... cannot say enough good about it....was easy to install too...
considering doing it to my wife's 21 JLURD when I can afford it and get rid of the crap skyjacker...
The only complaint is the complete eversight on the rear track bar. They could have bent it like Clayton did to accommodate the larger tires people are guaranteed to put on with a 4" lift
We live in the desert so we wheel a lot...

Where at in SoCal are you? I have my Rusty’s 4” springs in the mail, just got my Clayton track bar today. So I’ll be on 3” rear and somewhere around 4.5” front on my JTOD. I also drive like I probably shouldn’t

Nice, I’m roughly 20 minutes from Big Bear, so we have Gold Mountain, Dishpan, and several others right around the corner. Did you add any spacers to the front or just springs? Also, did you use those pads in the front that are supposed to keep the springs from bowing out?

We've done gold mnt and John bull.... no spacers or pads, springs don't seem to bow

34.5" of flex at the bottom of the tire

Awesome, can’t wait to install mine pending any more crazy weather

I haven't heard anything about Rustys since I put their 4.5" kit on my 1999 WJ many years ago. Other than the trac bar coming apart in the middle of a local trail and having to be fixed to get home then replaced it was a good kit and really cheap then compared to lift cost now.

Jeep looks great. I like how it sits level.
What bed rack are you running?

Mount the spare on your rack.

Looks like you have the Rebel Xplor so they make a winch bracket https://rebeloffroad.com/rebel-off-road-xplor-bed-rack-tire-mount-gladiator-JT/

Or you can just do like I did

If i'm not going on a long trip I just strap it down in the bed with the factory hooks

I planned to either FAB a cable lift like that myself or on the bumper.....
Went to order the Clayton bar last night on Amazon @259.00, put it in my basket and this morning when I went to pay for it it was 309 + 30 shipping.... KMA, Clayton inc is never in my future now.... I'll look around for bar options of just fab something on the bumper, on top isn't an option, I plan an RTT at some pointl

I really like the looks of the spare on the bumper

That’s funny, I got tired of waiting for their backordered parts which is what caused me to buy the Rusty’s springs anyways. Last week I bought the rear bar from a guy on here for 215 shipped. Clayton is the best company I’ll never buy from
