I have had the same bushes on the rear EFS pamhard for over 45000 KM with extensive off road use and they are still good as new. Checked them after I put the Poly lift in.

Decided to get a wheel alignment done after hitting a pot hole/subsidence out off Paridise Rd the other week. Car was handling heaps skittish and slight pull to the left. Wheel Alignment done and toe in adjusted and report on castor angle. I knew the castor would be out after the lift and arms install and know to dial it in with the adj upper arms.

Drives heaps better now

Well its nearly been 3 years and the warranty is gonna be up in a month or so. As for reliability and parts failure/breakage so far have been very minimal given its been offroad for at least 130 times in all, couple of mild comps, some tourning, pulling the trailer and also some stupid driving in the muck due to driver error!

So far its only had a uni joint nearly fail on the drivers side but was found prior to catastrophic failure and the usual TSB fixes everyone else has had.

I am really happy with the evolution of the Red Rocket over this time, fun factor and no real issues to write home about. Also only had 2 suspesion systems fitted and only went to another one due to size increase of the lift I wanted but would happily have stayed with the EFS kit.

Only thing to add is the winch now that nearly ready to go in and had the best Jeep journey ever so far..............

Well went in a bit of a differnt direction with regards to the winch mounting and fitted it up on Sunday. Just need to wire it all up and add the fairlead and its all a go. Minimal sag on the front so far and have taken measurements before fitment and will check over the next couple of weeks.
