Forget the $900 pasture-find XJ you just dragged home. This isn't a budget boost kit, and it isn't designed for mall crawlers. Rusty's Long Travel XJ Suspension System was engineered from the ground up for serious prerunners, desert runners, and budget race vehicles that are built to cover ground at speed and survive punishment that would destroy ordinary suspension systems. Developed with the input of motocross legend and professional racer Ricky Johnson, this system has been tested in some of the harshest off-road environments imaginable. When he's not racing, Ricky trains U.S. military personnel in advanced off-road driving techniques, and numerous training vehicles utilize variations of this suspension system. Off-road racing champion Scott Douglas also played a key role in the development of this package, helping refine not only this system but many products throughout Rusty's performance lineup. Every build starts with your choice of Radius Arm, 3-Link, 4-Link, or Competition 4-Link long-travel suspension configurations, allowing you to tailor the system to your specific goals. Whether you're building a high-speed desert machine, an ultra-capable trail rig, or a race vehicle, Rusty's has a configuration to match. For serious prerunning and high-speed off-road abuse, our preferred setups are the 4-Link and Competition 4-Link systems. The Competition 4-Link utilizes massive 1-1/4-inch adjustable heim joints for maximum articulation, precise suspension control, and race-proven durability. The standard 4-Link features Rusty's Forged Flex Joints, combining incredible strength, rebuildability, and long service life. Lower control arms are constructed from massive 2-inch DOM tubing, while the uppers use 1.5-inch DOM tubing to withstand the extreme loads generated during aggressive off-road driving. At the heart of the system is Rusty's heavy-duty 3-piece crossmember, precision-built from 1/4-inch laser-cut steel and featuring a removable center section for easier ser
