    If you can replace the bushings on the RE stuff you have under it now I would recommend that first. Things change quick and who knows in 3,6,,or 10 months down the road you might want to do a long arm or something different. If the bushings in the arms are still good you can always sell them to help with cost of the new upgrade.

    I'd check with RE and get new bushings before going with IronMan. Nothing against Andy (ironman) cuz i run his parts, but replacing bushings would be cheaper.

    I fell you're pain, I've been in the slow process of replacing all the re bushings on my xj. My drives side lower just let go this week, but I'm long armin soon so it's gonna have to wait. The bushings are fairly cheap, and not hard to replace( usually). For the arms I'd get Poly or daystars rather than the re ones.

    what about fitment for the RE stuff? Is the Poly and Daystar stuff the same diameter?

    Id just do that route if it is the same.

    Im not worried about the cost im looking at duarbility and longgevety of the joints.
    Johnny joints are the way to go and are pretty easy to rebuild.
    Ironman stuff looks mean!!!
