Yes but I believe SuperPro to be better product.
use too much of the stuff and can be rather "stiff" and I thought that the jeeps are designed to have some flex ?

Correct but we are only talking about using in the panhard rod to alleviate some of the tendencies of DW. I would not use them in any of the trailing arms.

Yes just using in pan hard rod Pedders said all other bushes ok. Also suggested rhs upper & lower ball joints small amount of play and left side upper ball joint they suggested adjustable lower ones to alleviate pulling to the left any suggestion on which brand of ball joints

well as long as everyone takes in the thought of lower spring rubber .... nothing worse than the RUST setting in on that bugger . there is a rust converter I like called "rust converter" it can be used on exhaust manifolds !!! (yeah dead set) has a very high temp range and does work , green in colour , but I can not get it here , as it is a acid and is only sold in QLD (Brisbane) it is also used as a primer , when it dries it goes white , and coats well. it is a ideal thing for under that rubber . (doesn't dry on paint)
brand called : PLUS rust converter

its when the dirt does not get completely washed away is when the paint gets worn off and the grind takes over . that is why when four wheeling in mudd , dirt so on , it is really important to get in those areas and SAVE the rubbers and stop the rust. ( not the "ill do it next week" syndrome )

Yeah I clean under when ever I go cuz I mainly go beach fishing gotta get the salt off asap had my jeep since it was 8 months old not a spot of rust anywhere. Like to keep my jeep clean as possible even give it a polish twice a year. Salt can kill a car in no time just like mud. Funny how you see real expensive 4x4 covered in in mud as if it's a badge of honour but not realising how much damage its doing under they pride and joy
