Have you installed the "new and improved" bushings they released last August/September?

Thanks for the Feeback! So from what I hear stay away from FT and either go with the start up TF Coil kits or just do it right with the RE 3.5 Full Flex Kit. My only concern with RE is that now I have to replace the drive shafts & re-gear which will be another $2000 to $2500 in cost. Would like to stick with a 33-34 inch tires. Also what do you guys think of Rock Klawler 3.5 Kit with Mid arm flex system? Look like a pretty good price for the and great quality

i have had my full traction kit on for a little over a year and i have replaced 3 bushings it is noisy as hell no matter how much lube you use and the contol arms are not adjustable, (at least mine are not). dude you cant go wrong with rock krawler or teraflex!! thats just my thoughts.
They did have some bad bushings that came from there supplier. They changed up the mix and its no longer an issue.
They are testing out new bushings like the OEM so guys that dont want to grease the kits dont have too.
Ive put 40,000 miles on my lift and its great. American made too! If your going to buy a kit with arms.

theres lots of guys with issues about their full traction kits. The bushings are crap in most cases. Lots of times they need to be replaced. We replaced a set on a friends jeep this past fall. They were shot to hell and the threads on one of his lower control arms got stripped and fell apart. We had to weld that control arm in place.
That can happen on any lift if you leave things loose.
