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 forgot to add, it is not an over tightening issue.

 

Pics of the damaged bushings and your front suspension please.

 

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.

 

Are you using BPE's?

Sleeve installed in the bushing?

 

Pardon the stupidity, what are BPE's?

 

Bar pin eliminators

 

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?
