No issue found with water pump even used a pressure cleaner in block while pump was off, nothing nada zilch clean as a whistle. So seeing i had it that far apart I pulled the radiator. Using garden hose on it got rust chunks again figured what do i got to loose started tapping with hammer and out came more chunks. Only thing I can figure heater core compromised and ****s breaking loose causeing this . So bypassed it and another new radiator third one in 9 months . Now we wait.

But yeah, I understand your view as well. It is frustrating as hell just for something as simple as a good flush.

It's all a matter of opinion. Beware of credit card cowboys though, they always want you to buy the most expensive brands for "bragging status".
A lot of us run Rough Country, Rubicon Express or Rustys brands. There are even a few mix n match ones as well.

I found a pretty good deal on here for a 4.5 inch RC and it comes with the AAL and I'd rather have new leafs because mine are slightly sagged

If you check amazon and look for rubicon express leaf springs for about $110-120 each with free shipping

Don't even bother with an AAL if you're going 4.5". Kits are great and all but if you're patient, you can piece together a much better lift for less money. I bought a kit. I wish I hadn't.
Rubicon Express makes pretty much the best springs around. Their dampers and control arms can be beat however. Teraflex and Rusty's are pretty badass in terms of control arms and Bilstein and King make kick butt dampers.

It cheaper to piece it? I didn't know that damn I'll do that and get killer parts but I honestly home know all the components I know I need leafs, springs, shocks, upper and lower control arms, an SYE, a steering stabilizer and U bolts i don't really know after that
Also if you want good deals on all those parts pretty much amazon has most rubicon express coils and springs for a steal...iron rock off road has adjustable lower control arms for $129+ shipping don't know about uppers but they can be had at a reasonable price....
