I currently have a 3" series 2 Rough country lift with a 2" budget boost on top.
After only 8,000 miles, the bushings in the supplied lower control arms are completely shot. Which kind of ticks me off since it has only left the pavement a hand full of times.
RC wont warranty them, but they gave me an option to buy new LCA's with "updated bushings" for a discounted price. But im not sure I want to take a gamble on another set that might not last.
Im kind of dissapointed. I dont even have my stock lca's to put in the for time being. At 5" lift im not sure I can even run stock lca's..
Thoughts/advice?

I mean, they wont send me new bushings. They will SELL me new control arms, thats about it.
I will be doing some research next time and buying a good Quality lift, thats for damn sure!

So you took there lift and stacked another one on top of it and you are unhappy that the company that designed the kit to be used a certain way wont replace your **** up? I am sorry but that sounds like something you should have to deal with on your own. My personal opinion is get adjustable arms with johhny joints. I wouldn't get the rough country version of the johhny joints either they are known for coming apart.
