ok my tune about this kit has changed. I installed it in Feb. and already the upper control arm bushings are wasted. My buddy got the LA kit 3 months ago and he has the same problem. The control arms are greasable which I have greased once every couple weeks depending how much I've used it. I just wanted to let you all know it is a great price. But the longevity is crap. Anybody else experience this? Obviously you get what you pay for

 

sorry but I have been saying this for awhile now. some here say they have gotten the bushing warrantied but our customers have had no such luck. they are cheap for a reason! customer service has been just as bad as the bushings!

 

I'll say it agian. IRONROCKOFFROAD is AWSOME! Look them up. it sucks that your having problems with the lift though. can you replace the bushing with a after market setup and not RC? Get the spec measurements and go to a local napa or shop of that sort and see about upgrading the bushings. I will take some pictures of my upper long arm bushingsand post on here if possible.

 

I'm gonna do that today and see if I could upgrade it some how.

 

Infact, the good way would be to buy the 6.5 short arm kit for cheap and build the long arms and crossmember yourself, with some decent jonny joints.

 

or buy a quality kit where the leafs dont sag after a short and the kit doesnt ride like a tank.

 

Weird...
I wouldve thought, that they wouldve been good...?!?

All of my CA bushings are still performing like champs on my 4.5 RC SA kit...!?
Makes me wonder if they went with a new manufacturer for their bushings? or New material??
...Anyways, that sucks bout your bushings though....

 

4.5 isn't 6.5

 

I feel better now that i didnt get this kit. Sorry for all whos experiencing the headache of the kit...

 

yeah, this sucks..I was considering this kit as well...

Couldnt you just replace the bushings with better ones? (just thought Ide ask)

 

why would you want to do this? you buy a kit and expect it to last. you shouldn't be needing to replace bushings so quickly. makes you wonder since the bushings are bad already whats the next piece to go out.......
