bushings and winter
I've got a question I have not seen on here yet about bushings. I live up here in the great white north and they tend to use some heavy salt in the winter. I'm ready to bite the bullet on a 3.5 lift and can't decide which one. I see a lot of people say AEV doesn't give you a lot of parts for the money and reuses a lot of the stock parts. To me that seems like a good thing if I can use the factory arms with bushings that will last many winters. So how does some of these bushings in aftermarket arms last in winters? The other to lifts i'm looking at are terraflex and rockkrawler. Thanks for any insight.

Yea I would figure like you did, the factory rubber bushings should last longer than the lifts with heim joints which are basically a metal ball moving in a metal socket that u grease. They flex great but salt would eat em up I would think
