SO I can use the OME struts and shocks with the Rusty's 2.5" coils?


The Rusty's front struts ARE OME struts (with a Rusty's sticker on them), while the rears can be upgraded to OME N132s (which is what I did).

The Rusty's springs just don't hold up to the job -- go with the OME MD or HD springs too!!! That is what I am going to have to do to replace the sagging on mine.

Don't mess with the Rusty's coils. Get HD springs and save yourself from having to tear the whole thing apart again in a year or less. This is especially true if you plan on running a big bumper/winch combo. I am just about to replace my Rusty's springs for HDs and I wish I'd done it right from the beginning. I sagged more than an inch in less than a year. The extra expense is well worth not having to tear the front apart again. I hope this helps.

No. Rusty's Lift does not come with OME shocks, but their own house brand. Many replace these with the Ranchos from the Durango (sorry don't remember the number). Rusty's will also replace their stock shocks (for a nominal fee) with the OME N132 shocks. A better bet is to get the OME N132L ("L" for "Long") shocks from Al-J Products (the exclusive U.S. seller of these shocks).

I have the Rusty lift. Now I wish I had a Frankenlift after 25,000 miles. Mine sagged a lot and feels "squishy". Lots of body roll in turns.

I plan on getting OME HD coils soon.
