I’m thinking about changing my control arm bushings. What’s your guys opinion on the best bushing for my mall crawler?

It’s about 90% road vehicle. 10% light off road (fields and mud) I would like to someday take to about 50/50 but still light stuff no rocks and rivers and stuff like that.

I only have about an inch and half lift and turning 31’s (I got a good deal on em when they wear out I’m going with 30’s)

I have the stock control arms. I don’t plan on lifting it higher as with my bum knees I can hardly crawl out of it now. Although If I they ever outfit me with some bionics then I can go a lil higher on the lift

I already changed my track bar and sway bar bushings with energy suspension and I'am pretty happy with em. But I’m sure control arms get a lot more abuse.

Either one will be fine. You might want to query them and ask them for the hardness of their bushings. The harder the poly the harsher the vibrations will be in the bumps

Great advice, thanks.. I shot an email out to both companies, I'll post the results.

Here's a few links to what I've been looking at.
