I've had an RE 4.5" superflex kit for almost 2 years now and I'm tired of the crappy bushings on the LCA's. I waited forever to replace the first trashed set, and just a few months later and only 2 wheeling trips, this set is wasted as well. I know they were having issues with their supplier, but I bought my replacements after they supposedly fixed the problem...
Anyway, I can't swing the dough for a longarm kit just yet. Would it be ok if I cut off the poly bushing end of the RE LCA and welded in a tube adapter for some sort of hard joint (Ballistic/Johnny Joint/RE flexjoint)? This would give me adjustable lower arms as well, which I'd like to fix the shortened wheelbase. I'll still have factory style bushings on the axle side of the UCA, so there will be some give. I'm not worried about NVH, it's a damn jeep, I just want to make sure there won't be any binding that will rip off the axle mounts.
Oh, and anyone know the ID of the RE arms?
