Shock Bushing Problem
I recently had a 3 inch lift kit installed with 31x10.5's. I am wondering if any one can recommend some high quality shock bushings. Ever since the lift and tire upgrade, I am chewing up pair after pair up front (both sides). Do they make some sort of composite ones, harder or thicker than the stock rubber ones that I am literally making them cut in half after a few days of driving.

I unfortunately already tossed the damaged bushings. I am not able to get pics today. I have been doing light driving without the bushings in at all until I can get my hands on better ones. Bad idea? Besides it riding like a loud and rough lumber wagon.

I had that issue with my front ones but only once. I replaced them with some nice poly energy suspension ones and have had no issues since. Do you have any oil or fluid leaks? That can cause early degrading of the bushing. Are they moving around a lot? If youa re cutting through them in a day or so then something has to be lose or like Frank said are you installing the proper metal sleeve with them?
