Replacing your lift springs THREE TIMES because garbage bushings die prematurely is a "piece of cake"?

In my books that's "****ing ridiculous".

Agreed. For every "my RC lift is fine" story I hear, I hear stories like this. That, combined with my own experience is enough for me to say don't buy RC. Hit or miss IMHO...

Kind of makes me glad that the rear of my Jeep is already lifted and that I wont be looking to cheap alternatives

Yesterday I charged the battery in preparation for the upcoming work that needs to be done to it. The battery is fine as far as I know, but there is a remote start in the XJ with a little flashing light that I can not turn off so it drains the battery over time I tried disconnecting it, but the jeep wont start without it connected and I am unsure that if I just close the loop that it wont cause other problems.

I will admit that I know nothing about remote starters so I don't know how to properly remove it, and I am too cheap to pay someone else to do it. I also kind of like having power door locks, something that was added in with the remote start, and the idea of being able to let it warm up in the dead of winter while I stay warm inside and have my coffee

It is ridiculous that they do go out prematurely. Yes it is a easy job to swap them for me now.

Apparently no one did anything to their Jeeps today?

I bought some MJ shackles and took off my front sway bars

I bought the steel for my 6X2 rockers, but it won't be ready for pick up till Monday. Does that count as doing something?

True true I like the coils though the coils are fine the leafs SUCK same with the Sway Bar Discos, 4.5 leafs are way too short, but when my RC stuff wears out I'm going with what I should've gone with RE or some other brand most likely RE though!
