Default Energy Suspension Yes or NO

I was wondering if it was worth replaceing my 16 year old rubber dry rot with the poly kit from energy. I plan on a 3-4in basterd lift so would it be of benifit even if I dont lift at the moment

I'm also interested on the energy suspension kit. i've heard it can lead to a much rougher ride, and they can transfer more vibes to the cab than rubber stuff. Can anyone speak from experience on this one? Any info would help.

They are way hard, and will limit flex of your rig, do to the bushings limiting the flex. I'm still waiting on hearing more about these, I loved them as a performance upgrade on my Cutlass, but so far I'm hearing they might not be the coolest on a Jeep.

I'm thinking about some as well...Morris 4X4 seems to have a damn good deal on the full kit for an XJ...
