I have looked everywhere trying to find bushings for my lower control arms. Do any of you know where I can order them? Thanks.
I believe those are installed backwards. The threaded part should be toward the body side. Do you know what brand they are? Which end are you looking to rebuild. If it's like most I've seen they have a flex joint at one end and a bushing at the other.
I wasnt sure about which end, I took them off of another jeep and put them back on the same way. It has bushings on both ends, not sure of the brand... i found these on ebay that look similar
My 01 suspension is totally gone and had pretty much settled on a Zone 3" full leaf/coil kit. I do NOT want it to ride like a dump truck though. I have seen other posts stating the spring rate of the Zone springs to be around 240 vs the OEM around 140 or so. Anyone confirm the high spring rate on the Zone kit? That going to be too stiff?
And to those that have installed this kit, are the shackles sitting at 90 degrees vs the stock 45 degree (optimum) angle? That would also contribute to a rougher ride.
My goal was to run stock wheels, 31" tires on a good riding 3" lift.

Thank you all in advance!
Thought I would add some more info on this. Per Zone Technical assistance, "Front coils are 240lbs per inch, and the leaf springs are approx. 263lbs per inch."
The resulting ride hast to be bone jarring with these spring rates.
Dang, I didn't think those springs were that high. I run 250lb PAC coils on my rig with Bilstein 5100s and it rides firm but not harsh. I really like it because I can and do accelerate over bumps haha! A heavy bumper and winch will definitely help.
You might want to check out Old Man Emu springs. I think the spring rates are much softer (I have their coils on my daily and it rides great for a solid axle vehicle).

115 degrees
No, I would put it at about 110 to 115 the kit is a little stiff at first but it settles in pretty quick , Mine did anyway I do tow a small 4x8 trailer with landscape tools from time to time . You could put some weight in the back and it would help the springs settle faster. Any lift is going to ride a little stiff at first , You can always remove a leaf if you don't like it , I'm very happy with mine. EDIT: I can't find a pic of the angle I'll take one when I get home later.

Narrowed it down to 2 tires choices I really like. I’m leaning more toward the MT as it’s considered a hybrid but don’t know anyone personally with real world experience using these. Who all has used either of these and what are your thoughts? Thank you!
