When I decided on a kit I went with the ProComp stage II because of the fact that it included motsly everything. It has been on the Jeep for a month and 500 miles. Never even got the chance to wheel the thing off road yet. Driving it yesterday I notice this klunking..... I get out and look under to find that the part of the arm that holds the bushings into the ball on the frame mount side has come apart. There is a threaded ring that keeps this assembly together and that ring had backed out completely. The perplexing part is that there is an allen set screw that mates with a gap on this ring to prevent it from backing out on its own. The only think I can think is that either the ring is too small or the area that accpets this ring is too big and it simply popped out past the threaded portion. I have reassembled it and at this point I have zero trust in its ability to remain assembled. Attachment 337169All I know is that if this is what I can expect from a Procomp product then I am pretty disappointed..... They haven't even seen the dang dirt yet! Anyone else have this experence? I have attached a PIC of the ball that is now destroyed from flapping around freely!

Yea mine did too. About 3 years ago I bought the top of the line procomp lift for about 2k and got about $300 worth of performance out of it.

unfortunately, procomp isn't exactly known for quality and you do get what you pay for. i have seen this before and, even if you were to put everything back together again, i can guarantee you that it will just happen again. the outer collar is most likely warped and the lock ring is slipping past the threads.

That is what I waas thinking. I had repaired it on the road on my back last night and after my post I went to the garage and pulled it off of the Jeep to repair it on the bench. Nope....... the ring can be pressed in and out by hand... What junk! I plan to call ProComp in the morning to see what their response is. I'll post their solution.

Call them. They should send you a new arm and bushings.

I remember seeing on here someone had the same issue, but i think they had a JKS Adjustable Trackbar. What they did was Spot Weld one of the nuts so it wouldn't come apart on them.

Search it up some more, it's been a few months since reading that. Good Luck

I do weld so even if they send me a new one I think it would be best to throw a quick spot on all 4 lowers. The next thing is to go with these.....
There is no nut to come loose on you. I just hate to spend $300 to replace a brand new part.
