Yeah I like iro stuff,even though they use rc stuff they still have good stuff. But I'm not sure about the adj c/a's. 4" is all I plan on goin. Except for goin to 4.5 in the rear on the shackles and staying 4" front.
So that's why I ask this. I don't. Plan on goin any bigger.

Ok thanks. And I didn't mean to imply that I don't like rc's stuff... I do.
But yeah I think 4 is good enough for me. Even if I go to 5 or more I would then hbave to go long arm and new shocks. I don't want to that because I want to repaint it and and rebuild my motor. So ill be good with 4 being that its my dd.
Thanks again for the imput.

I have 4.5" (3" springs, 1.5" isolater) I put rear ZJ lcas ($50 from salvage yard, 1" longer than XJ lcas) on the front lower and bought some Dick Cepek upper adjustables ($130 off ebay). Centered axle perfect in wheelwell, flexes like a rockstar, and sets pinion angle and caster pretty good. Just my $.02.

Thats what I thought, but, when I put the lower arms on the truck shook like my 90 year old grandma. Major driveline vibe. Put the adjustable uppers on and all is well.
