6" J-20 Lift Kit

[75BEAST]

Does anyone have the 6" lift kit from Rusty's Off road? If you do i would like to know about the instalation and performance. Thanks

The Rustys Lifts are a good bang for your buck value, but there has been alot of problems with their customer service and them sending the wrong parts/not all the parts. One downside to there 6" lift is that they use 2" blocks and 4" springs for the back.

I don't get the point to it. Just SOA the front and flip the shackle in the rear. You get just as much lift for a hell of a lot less money.

Sycho, you and others might disagree, but I have done a soa, and it really isn't that much cheaper when all is done and said. You will also need to ad blocks or something, because flipping the shackle will not gain enough lift to compensate for the soa.

Beast, I have ordered extended brake lines from Rusty and a shirt. It came in an orderly manner, but had the wrong fittings on the end. Rusty has been very friendly on the phone, and is working on getting me the correct fittings. Basically there are so many variables with the different FSJ models that Rusty could not possibly get them all right. It has been recommended that you go through Crawltech, and they will make sure you get all the right parts.

I just put a 6 on my 76 and it went on good and by myself to boot, the only wrong part was the ubolt on the outside of the front pumpkin I just used the original for now till I get the new one.

Spring Over Axle.

In a stock set-up, the axles are on top of the springs. If you put the axle below the springs, you gain extra lift for very cheap.
