I bought the Rusty's 4" lift kit for my YJ last summer, I only wheeled it twice that summer and drove it twice this winter. Problem i'm having is rust is everywhere springs, shocks, all the hardware the only thing that didn't rust was the longer sway bar brackets. I'm pretty happy with the performance of the kit but if this keeps up I won't have one in 2 years. Is this something that has happened to someone else or is my jeep a rust magnet?

The road salt is what I don't get? How can it be rusting from road salt when it spent the winter in my driveway?

When you let metal sit it rusts. Well actually metal just plain old rusts. I agree just spray them, thats what I did with my RE shocks.

Surface rust on the springs and hardware is normal.
The shocks on my '89 YJ were only 1 year old, and they looked HORRIBLE.
if it bothers you that much, either wire-brush everything in sight and repaint it with some Rustoleum, or spray some used motor oil under there. Let the oil soak into the paint (and rust).
