  • Rusty’s 5.5 JK Wrangler Long Travel Kit

    Rainbow City, AL, 12/27/10 – Rusty’s new JK long travel kit is the result of many hours at the computer, in the shop and extensive testing. We use our proven radius arm system in the front as well as the rear, something we had used only on local custom vehicles. Now, Rusty’s JK system can be installed in most any garage and it does require welding. We spent countless hours developing our new long travel mounting brackets using our keyed and tabbed bracket technology. In simple terms the .250 thick brackets are laser cut and CNC formed.

The long arms reduce the angle of the arms which will greatly improve the ride and improve the handling of a lifted vehicle while on road driving and gives superior articulation for off roading.
