Just an RC 3". Are there any budget friendly adjustable LCA's out there that won't go through bushings like crazy?

Thanks for the picture. I figured I would need to trim but wasn't real sure if I needed to do it before getting the tires put on.

I'm pretty sure you will, mine sits at about 4 inches and rubbed when turning.

I have some RC ones i payed 50 for and they work awesome but if mine was 4wd and wheeling a lot more i would pay for the RE ones... My RC ones are from 3-4.5 inches of lift also

I've had rc uppers and lowers for awhile (well over a year) and have had zero bushing problems $180 a set, uppers or lowers from 0-5 lift I think..

I just found a rust hole in my rear 1/4 panel under the end cap. Am I better off cutting the bad metal out and welding in new or cut and fold the 1/4?

Anyone have a write up handy for cutting and folding the lower part of the rear quarter panels? Not the fender I've already got that all cut and folded but I want to do that bottom portion too. The bottom portion with the bracket for the flare.

Do you know the diameter and length? The reason i am asking is because I had to cut them off, rusted to bad.
