I have Rusty's coil and it settled to about 2" after a few months also. I used 3 conduit nuts in the front and 2 extra coil isolator pads in the rear and am now sitting at 3" over where it was stock.

I did this about 2 years ago and it hasn't settled any further, and it gets wheeled pretty often. My Rusty's rear shocks on the other hand are really soft now and will be replaced soon with something else.

hey Kev... guys! I've read several spots where the Rusty's lift is saggin. I put mine on about 15 or so months back and have had nothing but great performance from it. I run the MTRs and wheel the heck out of it. It's given me great service. I talked to a few folks at ARB (Old Man Emu) and they said that Rusty's actually buys his lift stuff from them! Don't know how he gets his name on it but that's what they say. Anyhow. are they really saggin?

He sells OME struts and shocks but the springs are not OME, or maybe he buys the walmart brand of spring from them, cheap and made to last out the door :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: His are longer than OMEs but not as strong at all. Rustys are only rated at 310 lb even medium duty OMEs are 375
