Default How do I identify what brand of lift I have?

I purchased a Jeep and it had a lift already installed. I was wondering how I identify what brand of lift I have to get new bushings for the arms.

Look on the parts for a name or part number.

What "arms" are you talking about? I assume you mean the LCA's? Can you take a picture of the arms? Are you sure they aren't stock arms? I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure almost all arms use a 2" bushing. I would suggest looking at different manufacturers replacement bushings as they are probably the same size. Also look around at different LCA's and see if anyone is selling ones that look like yours. You could also drop one side of the arm and pull the bushing to measure the ID of the arms. Sorry my response is a bit scatter-brained I haven't fully woken up yet and my mind is on lifting my 98 today.

I haven't had the time to measure the ID of the arm. So the ID of the arms are similar to each of the brands of arms. I can get pictures up soon.
