Default Rough Country Bushings

I am getting ready to lift my XJ 3" and searching I see the biggest complaint with Rough Country is the bushings wearing out too fast. I would like to know if you can put the regular XJ Daystar Polyurethane bushings in the Rough Country components.

If you are referring to the Daystar factory replacement bushings then no. Not sure if they make a replacement for aftermarket arms. I know my RE one have to ordered from them cause they make them a certain size so you don't have a choice.

I definitely would not agree that this is the biggest complaint about RC!! Many more issues than just bushing wear.

The RC bushings are definitely the weakest part of the RC lifts... But overall you'll gonna like it...
