    The other guy warrantied them IIRC, I think inside the 1yr warranty period, and it happened again not long after, like months? That may've been someone else though, this is the 4th or 5th time now I've seen someone putting their stuff on a 1st gen had this exact issue happen, lower bushings blowing out. Guess they just make a shitty product for our trucks? I feel like "Rancho" used to be a respectable brand, but maybe I'm mistaken.

    EDIT: Actually, to @Mr.bee 's point - if they've been on less than a month or two, I'd try to return those MF's. Seriously. Get some 5100s.

    That reaks of design flaw. Complain to vendor to return, bottom bushings already blew out and when you asked on Tundras.com you found others with the exact same problem, or if scAmazon purchased, just straight-up return them. Non-scAmazon vendor may tell you to talk to the manufacturer. But really, you have photographic evidence from at least one other member who is consistently having the same problem, it screams design flaw to me.
