I am sure this has been answered but a lot of what I have read seems to be 5+ years old and I am not sure if things have changed. Seems to be a LOT of people that hate anything made by Rusty's (and a lot of people that love it for that matter) and I am wondering if I made a mistake. I ordered the XJ 3" Advanced kit which includes:
• Front 3" coil springs
• Rear 3" Leaf Springs
• Front Hydro performance shocks
• Rear Hydro performance shocks
• Fixed upper control arms
• Fixed lower control arms
• Adjustable front track bar
• Extended length stainless steel brake hoses
• Grade 8 U-Bolts
From what I can tell a lot of the negativity surrounds the control arm bushings, what I cannot wrap my head around is that I am looking at my stock bushings that are 15 years old and have 165,000 miles on them and are still probably fine, isn't this same as what I am getting with the Rusty's kit?
Also seems to be a lot of issues discussed with the tie rod end on the track bar, I am not opposed to getting another if there are going to be issues with this one, but I am wondering if a lot of what I am reading comes from hard core off road guys when I am just going to DD mine so not sure if I should worry?
I guess my main question is what should I be doing as far as maintenance (if anything) on my end after installation to prevent any issues with this kit. Thanks in advance.
