THANK YOU! so much to everyone that helpped! yall are life savers and i wouldnt be back on the road if it wernt for yall :)
 
The parts your broke all come in a new lift kit. Just go to rubiucon express website get like there cheapest short arm lift kit. Everything will bolt up may need to tweak the tabs the arms go into. But your gonna have to do that anyway. I bet the lift kit is cheaper then buying all new factory oe stuff.

The RE7003 3.5-inch is for enthusiasts who require a little less lift than the 4.5-inch system, at a more affordable price. The 3.5-inch Super-Flex™ system features the same ride quality and general trail traits as the 4.5-inch system.

The 3.5-inch features new control arms with our Super-Flex™ spherical ball joints, replacement 3.5-inch lift springs extended bump stops, longer front brake lines and Gen II sway bar disconnects. This 3.5-inch system can easily be upgraded to the 4.5-inch version should you decide your TJ/LJ needs more lift in the future. This suspension will allow the use of 33 x 12.5 tires.


Note: The installation of a slip yoke eliminator and CV driveshaft on the stock NP231 transfer case is recommended on a TJ.

The installation of a CV driveshaft on the stock Rubicon NP241 transfer case is recommended on a TJ.
 
rough country is called ROUGH for a reason. Re has way better rep. And ive watched both on trails. Rode in jeeps with both. I like the rubicon express kits better.
 
A Jeep @ 20mph(minus slowing during skidding), suffered that damage?? I'm so disappointed in Jeep now.
Hopefully this new Jeep Desert Scrambler will hold up better....
