Does anyone have any experience with these? I am going through the stockers too fast.

Seem inexpensive, curious to know how well they cover the warranty if there is a problem.

I'm sure that warranty does not include abuse which is what we do to our Jeeps. They would say using them off road is excessive use...

Some companies do not do that. I'm looking for experience, not hypotheticals.

1. This Limited Warranty is non-transferrable and applies only to the original purchaser and only for the original vehicle on which parts are installed. This Limited Warranty applies only to PROFORGED chassis parts installed on passenger vehicles, vans and light trucks and does not cover products installed on vehicles or equipment used in any of the following circumstances: towing, racing, security, government and public service, fleet or commercial uses, off-road use (whether recreational or competitive), agricultural use, aviation, industrial, marine or motorcycle uses. Further, this Limited Warranty does not apply to any PROFORGED product which has been subject to misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, improper maintenance or misapplication, or which has been connected, installed, modified, adjusted or repaired by someone other than a qualified, licensed automotive mechanic or in a manner that does not conform to the vehicle's factory service manual or other instructions provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

It doesn't answer your original question if the quality/durability, but the warranty is out for off-roaders.

From their site BTW.

Not the question you asked, but I am really impressed with my Dynatrac ProSteer ball joints. They are really strong and rebuidable. Expensive, but I have no reason to doubt they will last the lift of the jeep - with 37s.
