    I gave up on that thread. Too much dick measuring and butthurts.
    DKs use the delrin bushings and are solid. You're going to pay 300$ more for TC but you get Chromolly which makes the difference in price. That stuff is around 200 more a sheet over steel. You can put delrin bushings in the TCs as well. I personally have had no issues with my poly ones. They were still in perfect shape after 25k.

    Tempting but I just blew a bunch of $$$ on full skids and now saving for lock/regear and a winch. LCA's will be after that, probably around spring time.

    That front member with ARB is no joke on price. ECGS has a great price but still a big ouch on the wallet

    Worn bushings, and they are looking like they could unwrap at some point sooner than later

    Are extended travel fronts required with the new lowers or is there no real difference?

    He's right about the lockers. Just do it all..

    No, those are needed with the uppers to take full advantage of the extra droop. At least that's what I've been told.

    Just have to pull the bushing from the coilovers to be ext travel

    I was told by Josh at Baertrax in Texas that you get more range of travel with the TC lowers. NO IDEA if its true but he mentioned it at the Lonestar Jamboree back in May.

    No, you could run stock suspension with these lowers.
    Yeah, already in there. Might as well upgrade the brakes too. Went with yellows and dimpled/slotted.
