Has anyone here installed the new Rubicon Express JK4444M 4 link suspension system on a Rubicon. I was considering the RE7364 radius long arm suspension, until the new 4 link came out. This is for a 2013 Rubicon.
 
You don't want the radius arm it works but it likes to chew up axle bushings if ya like to flex.

I called up RE a good month ago and they said the newer long arm kits are coming with a different set up and not to much of the bushings. Don't know if this is true or not.
 
I'm gonna switch mine out to the four link, just gotta buy the uppers and mounts for the uppers.

I know that last time you where thinking of switch the lift all together. What changed your mind? Where have you found the rear 4 link its self? I know they said I could purchase the 3 link but the rep said on the 4 link it requires the stock mounts for the rear. I haven't seen pic's of the set up so I don't know if that's true or not.
 
This route will be easier on the bank account for now. Life happened so it's gonna be awhile longer before anything is done with the suspension. As far as four linking the rear when I talked to them they made it sound as if all I would have to do was change out the rear brackets that came with the radius arm set up

I have this lift in the 4.5, wanted more flex then the radius and will be intalling it myself this friday as long as my tires and drive shaft arrive on time? If you want i can email you a copy of the install papers so you can have a look it looks pretty stirght forward. I got it with out shocks and picked up fox 2.0s for 400 bucks.

You got the long arm 4.5? I think we're more looking at the rear end not flexing like other lifts. The 4 link should repair that concern.

Yes, it is the RE 4.5 but it is the 4 link front and back. I looked at the radius arm and figured the same thing after doing some looking around, a couple people told me 4 link had better flex so i figured that was my road. I will say that being what seems to be the first to have this lift is a little creepy lol, but it is really new.
