Any Market for Used TJ Lift Kits?
Yesterday I ordered a brand new Rubicon Express Extreme Duty long arm
lift to replace the tired Teraflex/RE/whatever kit that's on my TJ
right now. I debated reusing some of the old lift parts, but then I
said to myself "do it three times and do it right." (get it, this is
the third lift, do it right the first time . . . I guess you had to be
there <lol>) Anyway, the RE kit is complete with all the bits and
pieces and when all is said and done I'm going to have a complete 4.5"
short arm kit left over. Is there a market for a well used lift kit?
The only part of the lift that's in really good shape is the shocks,
with about 5K miles on them. The rest of it is . . . well, tired. The
Teraflex arms bushings are in need of replacement, there is play where
the threads have worn against each other. Many of the parts have a
patina of rust, rock rash or both.
Is there any value to this? Where might be the best place to sell it?

Heh, someone will want this for replacement parts or to fix collision
damage. The trouble of course is to find them.

E-bay. Even if you talk about the "tiredness" of the parts (keeps your
conscience clear), they should go for a premium. You will have to ship
them though.
