- Why Rusty's Off-Road: There are many reasons i decided to go with Rusty’s Off-road. One of the most important factors to me is that they are an American company that still makes their products here in the states. Rusty’s has an impeccable reputation when it comes to the Offroad scene and their experience is unmatched. Rusty’s has innovative designs while still being affordable. Those are some of the few reasons I recommend Rusty’s to anyone looking to build an Offroad rig! My Rusty’s parts have preformed past my expectations, Whether on or Offroad I can count on my Rusty’s suspension to hold up. While i was skeptical about going long arm, the Rusty’s 4.5” long arm kit has made the big 35” tires handle and ride like a dream. Going from a stock steering stabilizer to my Rusty’s RX800 was a night and day difference that helped control bump steer that is so common on lifted jeeps.
