Rusty's CJ 2.5" Spring Pack Kit ('76-'86)

A classic Jeep deserves more than a replacement suspension—it deserves a suspension engineered to unlock its full potential.

For many CJ owners, the goal isn't building the tallest Jeep on the trail. It's restoring the rugged capability, dependable handling, and unmistakable character that made these vehicles legends in the first place. Rusty's 2.5-Inch Suspension Lift Kit was developed specifically for enthusiasts who demand modern ride quality and trail performance while preserving the timeless spirit of their classic Jeep.

Whether you're completing a frame-off restoration, building a reliable hunting and camping rig, or simply bringing a worn-out CJ back to life, this system provides the perfect foundation. The moderate 2.5-inch lift creates additional clearance for larger tires and improved off-road capability without the complexity of extensive drivetrain or steering modifications.

At the core of the system are Rusty's premium 5-leaf spring packs, carefully engineered to deliver a smooth, controlled ride on the road while maintaining excellent articulation in the dirt. Unlike stiff, outdated spring designs that limit suspension movement, these springs are tuned to flex naturally over uneven terrain, improving traction, comfort, and driver confidence wherever the trail leads.

Nylon anti-friction pads are installed between each leaf to reduce binding and allow the spring pack to move freely through its range of travel. The result is smoother suspension action, reduced wear, and improved long-term performance under real-world conditions.

Strength is built into every detail. Rusty's spring packs feature full military-wrap construction on the frame-mount end, providing an extra measure of durability and safety when traversing rough terrain, carrying gear, or exploring remote backcountry trails. This proven design helps ensure your CJ remains dependable long after lesser components have called it quits.

To further enhance drivability, the kit includes steel 3-degree rear axle shims to help optimize driveline angles after lifting the vehicle. New polyurethane bushings and sleeves throughout the suspension eliminate decades of wear and slop, restoring precise handling and a more connected driving experience.

New U-bolts and a complete set of Rusty's Hydro Performance Shocks finish the package, providing balanced damping, improved vehicle control, and a noticeably smoother ride both on pavement and on the trail.
