Lift question: RE vs. Rustys??

[Matt00XJ]

I'm in the market for a lift and I am looking for around 3" to fit some 31s. I have narrowed the list down to Rubicon Express 3.5" Super-Flex kit and Rusty's 3" kit with full spring packs. Has anyone had any experience with either these lifts and the advantages of one over the other?? The Rustys kit is cheaper, but I want something quality even if it means forking out the extra money. Also, how tough is the install on a lift like this to do yourself? (as I am pretty green to suspension work) The local off road shops around here are wanting to rob me of around $400-500 to do the work so I would rather to do it myself to save the money. Appreciate the help in advance guys.

well its easy for me i wouldnt settle for anything but rustys i just got my lift from him and it rides nice ... i bout his 305sts kit and that has heavier front springs and an overload spring on the rear pack which is nice for carrying heavy loads. plus the heavier springs give more stability. as far as install goes i would do it yourself this was my first time messing with suspension too. the only thing with my rig is it had 182k miles on it and that ment my one spring bushing sleeve rusted to the bolt so i had to chop it out... oh well but other wise i love my lift i love it and cant say enough about it... rustys gets my vote... i have had great customer experience from them oh and its 512 with shipping for the sts
