Default RE bushings ???!!!

So I took my rubi back to my shop to have EVO gussetts welded on. Come to find out after checking everything out, ALL my RE bushings are split, cracked and basically DONE. Come to find out, they were crappy bushings to begin with. Went to Rubicon Express to bitch and complain and was delightfully surprised that they gave me all new "better quality" rubber bushings. Long story short, RE makes a great lift and they stand behind it. Anyone have any issues just give em a call.

Been there done that. They said they had a bunch maid with the wrong compound. So I got the new ones for free too. I’m ok as long as these last longer than 11 months.

hope you get good at replacing bushings because the ones you had didn't just fail because they were made from a bad rubber compound. that may have been the case if you had a short arm kit but, your problem comes from the fact that you have radius arms and, if you flex your jeep, you'll keep blowing out bushings.
