RE lowers. I just noticed mine are bent upward a bit, maybe 1/2 inch or so. I guess I beat it up a bit much.
At what point do I need to replace them?

Right meow!.. Call your vendor first see if they can replace it for you. otherwise. Contact them.
Maybe it's time for some MID/LONG arms!

Not concerned with any type of warranty. it's obvious they're beat.
I think you are right about mid arms. Time for stiffeners, mid arms, coils, roll cage.
Hell yeah.

Yes, upgrading when you damage/break something is a valid reason to go with something better. Give DBO some more of your money! haha.

OT: You get your TB done yet?

I bent one of my RE lowers also, moved up to a TNT long arm kit. No bending now!

And here I was going to say "When they are cracked / going to break, or when the Jeep is no longer align-able".
