Someone should finally make a thread where all the people post pics of their RC stuff failing or not working properly. Because every week there is a thread with people who's RC crap hasnt broken yet making arguments for how great RC is for the money against others who's RC stuff already broke telling everyone from experience to stay away.

If your xj is a dd rc is a good company. If your entering the top truck challenge or king of hammers the. Rc will brake with that kind of stuff.
Heck even BDS bushings wear out!

Thats the thing though lol i dont play on rocks... haha go to talk to huntingman or XJ Stryker about the track bar... they both wheel em hard and its not a problem at all. And if it was safe to run a vehicle like an XJ without a sway bar it would come like that from the factory, completely different if its not a pavement pounder though
I just thought it was funny that you felt comfortable with a flimsy track bar keeping your lifted front end centered but god forbid someone drive without sway bars
But different things apply to different situations I suppose

exactly. different things apply to different situations. mine's going to be set up to not run them. and like I said in the other thread, with short arms and bilsteins it'll be plenty stable. I wont even have room for sway bars after my steering upgrades. no point in even bothering with discos.

Im so sick and tired of all these people talking about "oh just drill your track bar" or "oh those 3 inch spacers are fine" i hope i never wheel with people like that, i hate fixing **** on stupid *** 18 year old kids jeep because they think they can skip on suspension.

Yeah but it always turns into why rc is bad. The bushings. And why my 2k 4.5in lift is so superior.
If your xj is a dd rc is a good company. If your entering the top truck challenge or king of hammers the. Rc will brake with that kind of stuff.
Heck even BDS bushings wear out!

Sure. Im not talking about bushings. And RC stuff does not come with a warning not to use for offroad or on rocks. These are supposed to be offroad parts and according to you their stuff holds up well as long as you dont take it offroading? Thats pretty bad quality if you ask me. we are hijacking the thread tough. Im done here.
