I have been looking for reviews on long arm suspension for XJ's. All I have been able to find is a review for the 4.5" from rough country. Does anyone know of any other reviews, either for the 6.5" or maybe some of the IRO long arms, preferrably the 8"? Thanks for the help guys.

I'm running the 6.5 rc myself and so far have had only 1 issue with the control arm bushings premature wear but that was not a big deal because they warranted them for me.
Been about a year now and I've had no problems with sagging or anything breaking.
Some of my buddys that are running rustys and such had more issue's than I did lol
Not trying to bad mouth other brands. Just going by what I've seen.

Cool, thanks for the info, I read somewhere else on here someone had that problem. Turned out to be a design issue which got taken care of with subsequent kits. I am thinkin either this kit or the 8" IRO, just want some more info before I make up my mind. Navy messed up my re-enlistment bonus so I have more time to research now.

Not sure what I want, or the benefits of either or, just want a good ride/flex. Wheeling will probably be equal parts rocks, trail and sand if that helps anyone.

I have the RC 6.5 LA and love it. The only problem I had was a cracked weld on one of the heim joints. Could have had it warrantied but I just cleaned and welded it myself, didn't feel like waiting for a new one.

Check out their site. They actually have a detailed breakdown of the construction. I can't identify much for a weakness. I've got there 3-link on my daily and I think its quite stable/stout.

Adrenaline motorsports makes a great kit. They don't have a website yet but Ive seen it first hand and it is beefy. I can get pictures up of the kit. The crossmember is welded but I think they have a version that is bolt on. It is definitely heavy duty. I saw one on a xj with 12" of lift and man this thing looks like it will be the last bit to break. I can even provide a phone number to the owner.
