Hey Everybody,

I've been having to replace the upper bushings on my monotubes almost monthly, and my most recent horrific sound came from one of the bar pins them self breaking clean into 3 pieces and the shock on the passenger side nearly penetrating up through the floor. I'm not dealing with Rubicon Express any more cuz all they do is send me the same garbage that keeps breaking.

The JKS BPE's sure look top notch, but they're also the priciest I've seen. What kind of experiences have you guys had with different brands? I know I could probably rig some up myself but I don't really have time to right now so I'm just going to buy some. Any feedback = mucho appreciation!

I used Iron Rock Offroad for my rear BPE. The bracket was of nice quality and they gave me all the hardware. It worked out great with my Monotubes except when I lost a bolt from it and ended up just welding the bracket to the unibody. Just make sure the bolts are always torqued right and you wont have the same issue as me!
