well i know this has been on here before but i can't seam to find any info on it so here is the question...

i am was looking at the rustys spacer lift. what are the pro's and cons of this set up and is it easy to upgrade to the full on lift if i wanted to later on? i don't plan on doing any crazy off roading just mild fun for now...any advice will be great. if you don't recomend this spacer lift witch would be better? thanks for the help..

Cons is that its Over The Top lift (OTT) lift that goes on top of your existing strut assembly. From the other users that had OTT lifts they wear out your front suspension really quick.
You really would be better off getting full suspension lift (Rustys or Frankenlift) or second best daystar spacer lift.

stay away from Rustys OTT style lift
if you want a cheaper but good lift then go with Daystar
if you want to go cheap but with a full spring lift go with OME springs and Rancho shocks/struts
little bit better OME springs and OME shocks/ struts
best lift Frankenlift

Dont know how many times I have heard over the years I just want a lift for mild trails some fun now and again, then 2 months later you hear "I should of done it right the first time! "

best thing to do is call Heather at AllJs (boulderbars.com) and talk to her tell her what you are wanting to do and she can fix you right up. Great place to deal with!

With the number of times I've seen Tom post this, it should be a Sticky by now.

I have it on a program like automatic redial, just hit a button and there it goes. Do you want me to hit the button on my favorite vehicle, or my favorite Harley motor? Have them all ready to go...automatic answers, sort of like being married and answering questions your wife has......... :lol:

OK but I will not do it again for a least a week Mitch!!!

Tom, have you ever considered changing your user name to " Simon Says", :lol:

I think it would be cute, and fit your chacter quite well. All in favor, raise your hand. :lol:
