i just installed these arms, much better then stock , look well made and the price was right. i haven't had a chance to see how they do on or off the road yet but can't wait they have to be better then wheeling with the stock arms and smoked bushings .

I got the RC lowers set at 16 3/8" and uppers at 16". It's perfect.

I removed em because I didn't have enough lift to run them and it was causing binding in my steering.

Default A quick note from andy at Ironman

Hey guys this is Andy from Iron man and I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for trying out my parts. I don't have enough cash to buy vendorship on all of these forums so Ill be real careful to not step on any toes.

This seems to be a really decent forum without a lot of arrogant ignorance I have seen on other sites. Props to you guys!

I started my company with XJ guys top priority and am an XJer to the core! I see a stock 92 2 door all clean and fresh parked at the grocery store and get a little emotional....you know the feeling.

My intentions are to look out for you guys during this recession when income is scarce and people are still losing jobs daily. I often pull 10-16 hour days 5-6 days a week so you can afford to get your caster angles right so its not dangerous to drive to the grocery store to drool over that same 2 door I just mentioned.

I am not a brand basher. I love Rubicon's consistent parts and Clayton's simplicity. Rough country has come a long way as a company and is to be praised for their recent developments.

In an industry where livelihoods are made and lost by what you guys say on these sites it can almost be unnerving to even speak up and say howdy but thanks again for all of your cheers and jeers and most of all keep wheeling!

I apologize if this bothers anyone since I don't have vendor status I hope we grow to the point of being able to financially back this and the other XJ forums

SAVE TELLICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
