I don't know if there is much of a difference between the two, or any at all. I hear about people being happy with both.

There probably is not many who have run both for a direct comparison, but maybe others will chime in with their thoughts.

Ya I am prolly gonna end up goin with the rustys lift just because it is so much cheaper. The only bad thing I have read about it is aparently some people have trouble with the rear shocks and they have to flip the shocks upside down. They say that makes it ride like shit but I don't really care because this is gonna be strickly off road rig

Lately I have heard that BJ's springs rides and flexes a little better. So it will probably be a "you get what you pay for" thing. Skyjacker will have the best flex, but it is considerably more expensive, and only comes in a 4" as far as I know.

Have you considered spending a little more and going to a spring over and a shackle flip? That is the best way to go if you can afford it, in my opinion.

yea i have considered it... but my springs are so worn out that i thought it would be better to replace the springs... the only other thing that i see to do would to go and have my springs rearched and then do the SOA/ shackle flip
