Back to stock………. I was using the Rock Jock upper control arm axle bushings. They are great, but with a Johnny joint on one end and a krawler joint on the frame side of the upper arm it wouldn’t straighten up after articulating. And with it laying over all the time it would clunk over bumps.

I know, first world problems, but it bugged the shit out of me….. so I fixed it…… at $8.00 each for stock bushings, that’s nothing , and I figured a way to use my ball joint press and Mac daddy impact on them to remove/replace……it literally took 5 minutes out and in…….so if I have to replace them once a year, no worries…….I think it feels better too….. probably placebo affect …….?

Not really, just need to remove the diff breather hose, it makes it a little easier. Actually if you have to use hammer and removal tool it’s easier on that side because you can get a better swing at it. But with the BJ press it’s a walk in the park, lol.

No worries, yeah I have this kit, so there’s a lot of sizes. I found one that works.

That definitely seems like would be better then using a BFH, unless you need to release a little stress ?

2/21/2022, Testing is complete we will start the Exact Center Program.
Any Exact Cener present owner is eligible for the exchange program
The trial program will start in 14 days or when we have the stock you want to try. The trial is 7 day free trial of any size offered with any bracket in stock if needed. New product trial users will get the 10% Forum discount those trying a previously used EC will get a 25% discount. All units will be covered by Roadmaster Lifetime limited warranty.
We will have 3 pressures. and a special order option. Sales now and all returns will go through PIWcorp [email protected]
Roadmaster will sell product, but will not do returns or exchanges only PIWcorp can do anything after the sale. For now you can get more information by contacting [email protected] before you order. We will guide you through your purchase so you pick the EC that will fit you now and later.

#1 66.46lbs Sell to any Wrangler owner who wants a base 66.46 lbs 300 newtons. With the understanding, if they developed a DW issue or find they want more pressure they can trade one time at no cost for #2 110 lbs
#2 110 lbs This is for everyone that has a JL Wrangler even mods and RV backing iand the buyer of these can do one free trade up for a #3 140 lbs or trade down for #1 66.46 lbs
#3 140 lbs This is for very serious JL owners but will work for most all JL's. including RV backing If you are serious about doing mods in the future maybe buy #3 understanding you can move down one time.
#4 Special order at $150.00 above base in the pressure of your choice, this could be any pressure between 110 lbs and 500 lbs. (RM will verify minimum and maximum they can do) there will be no trading program for special order buyers
Comment if you like to
If RM approves we will request the new higher pressure product.
I do have approval from RM to do my plan. Custom fills will be $150.00
4 sizes 66lb 110 lb 140 lb and a custom you say the size. One exchange on everything, but the custom fill. If you buy too big or too small and not at top or bottom already you can go up or down to any size we carry.
All sales now will go through PIWcorp all exchanges or trades will go through PIWcorp. RM will not do exchanges. They will put printed info in the package explaining how you contact and get an exchange.
PIWcorp will take the returns and use them for a trial and trade option. You can try at no cost and we will trade with a new buyer at no cost one time. When doing the trial you will have the option of buying your test unit at a discount (the percentage of the discount is not known yet)Trail users can buy a new unit at the normal 10% Forum discount.
We should be up and running in 10 days.
[/QUOTE]
Small change
Eric at Roadmaster is changing the #1 to 80 lbs and will not offer 66.46 to any JL owners.
Your friend Erik in Ca is up and running with his 110lb
