Question for the guys who have had a BB on for a good amount of time.

How are they holding up? Are they turning out to be as good as they seemed when the new JK stuff hit the market?

Nothing to "hold up". The stock stuff will fail long before a few plastic spacers will.


In fact, the spring spacers will still be around in a landfill a million years from now, long after the stock or after market springs & the whole rest of the cloth/steel portions of the jeep are nothing but dust.


I can see the whole archeology thing now:

Grill, fenders, miscellaneous engine parts, four plastic donuts & a dashboard.

I assumed the OP was talking about the puck lifts, but your right, some are all metal, Forgot about that.

so, how is your RC lift holding up?
My RE kit is fine. Zero problems, other than... well, it's to short, it isnt coils... *L*

I've had my TF BB on since my Jeep was 3 weeks old, almost two years ago now. And the only thing I've ever had to do was retighten one of the front shock extensions. It was probably my lack of torque in the first place, though.

Default shock extenders

Anyone have a problem with shock extenders bending or breaking? Anyone using Skyjacker shocks w/ other brand BB? The Skyjacker shocks seem priced right- Thinking of running them w/ RC BB- Joe
