"PM your name/address and I'll send u a replacment"
ALL companies will and do have minor probs as kits come out, and TF seems to address those quickly. And YES, I do know how to use the search feature. Who's stroking the vendor for parts? I searched vendor stroking , nuthin comes up.

Seems like the posts above to me. When you post it public for others to sit back and judge the vendors reaction and then blow on how well they are. Stroke Stroke Stroke.
Maybe try "replacement" in the search that seems to be a key word in their posts. It would be better if they didn't need to replace their product. That's why I say R.E. buy it and wheel it.

That being said, if I did manually disco, I'd probably pick up some JKS.Stroking vendors... hilarious...
You guys are very entertaining to listen to but on a more serious note, my springs haven't sagged but I'm not running much weight. Those that I know that are, haven't really had any sagging issues at all.

Suggestions from the faq's...
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 3" lift?
A: At bare minimum, you should have a set of 3" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, rear brake line extension brackets, new longer rear sway bar links (factory links can be installed up front), adjustable front track bar and rear track bar relocation bracket. Optimally, I would recommend adjustable front upper and lower control arms as well as they will help you set your caster to the appropriate angle it needs to be. Also, if you have a 2-door, adjustable rear upper control arms and a new double cardin U-joint style drive shaft would be highly advisable.
Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
A: For a 4" lift, you should have a set of 4" coils, bump stop extensions, longer shocks, extended brake lines, longer sway bar links, adjustable front track bar, adjustable rear track bar, front and rear track bar relocation brackets, dropped pitman arm, adjustable upper and lower control arms front and rear and new double cardin u-joint style drive shafts.

I do have the R.E. disco's, no problems. Just hit them with WD now and then, not much there to have problems with, the grommets are holding up like new. I agree to each their own. I'm just tired of hearing about R.E. bushings getting bashed. I would guess I'm bothered most by those who don't own a R.E. lift but rather just read it online and want to up their post tally by their 2-cents, maybe to go from a JK newbie to a JK God. For the owners of a R.E. lift with issues it's good to hear the problem, but those posts are rare. It's a popular lift in this area without problems.

Product for product I would say a R.E. lift would be hard to beat. No rubbing with 35's fully stuffed, keep your stock shafts also. Bushings are a wear item and I'm not going to whine if I have to put a bushing in. I have 18K on my lift right now with no bushing issues at all, drives great a flexes very well.
There is constantly someone stroking the sponsoring vendor on here for parts.
