Rough country problems!
I was wondering if anybody has been having problems out of there rough country lifts. I bought a 4.5 inch lift with full rear springs and i have allready had 2 bad bushing in my lower control arms and now both rear leave spring bushings are bad and making a terrible noise. This just seems bad for only having this lift on my cherokee 6 months and wheelin it 5 times!

strange hearing all this stuff. I beat the hell out of mine and it still shines. Maybe I got lucky?

I cant complain one bit, and mines reaching 2 1/2y.o.
Anything change with their bushings recently???
Does RC make their own?
Or does someone else supply them?

Did you happen to tighten everthing up with the wheels hanging, or on the ground with the vehicle weight on the tires? The bushings will wear out faster if not tightened when the weight is on the tires and the suspension is settled.

I tightened it all sitting on the ground and i've only had it on 6 months and i've wheeled it maybe 5 times pretty hard but it seems to just be falling apart! i will probably be taking it off to put a long arm on from some other brand.
