I'm running the IronMan adjustable shackles and I was wondering what you guys know or have heard about the other IronMan 4x4 products. I'm thinking about buying the long arm kit that I saw on the ebay page but I just wanted to get some more info before I did. THanks!

Wow, those prices are pretty good. I think I'm going to buy those front upper arms instead of fabbing my own for my Ranger D30 swap. I already have long lower arms, and tabs, just need some adjustable uppers. Or maybe I need to hit a junkyard with cash for clunkers Jeeps in it before the weather turns on me (snow Wednesday!?!?!?!).

the control arm design, while beefy, is poor. sure it will hold up but you now have limited flex...they do not pivot like the old style RC arms on the threads (which is a good thing as my old style RC's just failed after 8 months from install/new on install) but that also means they don't allow flex ANYWHERE.

if they added a superflex style joint on one end I'd give ironman a 10/10 on quality

ya he can make them for you in a flex joint to, they are $179. check out his site wow these things are massive bigger than RC and RE. although RC had a great, cheap design. anyways i had bought a tie rod from him too, it was just thick and heavy, but a great price but ill be installing these LCA next wednesday, with my other new lift parts, ill let ya know how it goes and how it flexes

You need to do more research next time:

"● Utilizes polyurethane bushings with our exclusive tapered bushing sleeves for 20% more flex than stand poly and rubber setups." from --> http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/Jeep_XJ.../XJ_FULCA.html

and
ADJUSTABLE LOWER CONTROL ARMS with FLEX JOINTS
