it also causes stress on the torque boxes as well as ovaling out the hole where the bolt goes threw. you want the bushings to be ruber so it will give when you jump on it. i would go poly everywhere else. atleast thats what the guy a mm said

^^ Agreed ^^

Max motorsports sells stock control arms with upgraded rubber(the rubber they used on 93+?) or somthing of that sort. Basically its a bit more rugged than stock fox bushings are but doesn't bind like urethane. IDK if they are max motorsports arms or if they are just flippin someone elses products like ford racing.

Alright, thanks guys, I'll just box them and use stock rubber uppers along with welding the seams on the upper box until I get a chance to get some torque box reinforcements.
