Default Full Traction - Testing Rubber Bushings
I am excited to inform everyone that we are in the process of testing an OEM style Clevite vulcanized rubber bushing. These bushings are identical to the stock suspension bushings found on the JK. We’ll be using these in place of any of the joints that currently require lubrication/greasing maintenance. They will be available for both long and short arms. This modification will be very user friendly, zero maintenance, and still provide the excellent articulation and ride quality that our kits are known for. Additionally, we’ve been working hard at trying to bring you a triangulated rear suspension for the JK. If you’re going to be attending the JK Mega Meet, stop by and talk to us about your interest in this option. We will be debuting the new bushings at the JK Mega Meet on June 27-28, so stop by and take a look. Stay tuned, and we look forward to you seeing there.

Congrats, can't wait to hear the reviews. If you guys need another test vehicle for anything, let me know. I have a 2dr Rubicon that you can use for extended periods......only stipulation is you leave the cool stuff you test on it!!!!!!!!!!

I'll take a full set... do you have a ballpark for when they'll be available? Wondering if I should hold off replacing my existing ones until that point.
