"New" Rough Country Bushing Feedback
It seems there are a prolific amount of threads with info/comments on the quality of Rough Country lift kits, specifically the premature failure of control arm bushings. In looking at most of these threads, it seems the common denominator is that the kits are "old enough" to not have the new X-flex joints (with threaded pre-load adjustment) and/or the Clevite OEM style bushings. So, I'd like to see some feedback on the "newer" kits that have these bushings, to see if these are fairing any better? It seems the "older" kits had failures within weeks/months of service, and I know these "newer" kits have been around for several months now, so??? Thanks for any info!!

Can't comment much on the bushings.....just installed mine 100 miles ago.
I would stay away from their leaf springs (4.5"), they are too SHORT and they ride STIFF!
Look at the shackle angle.
