Ive been looking into this RC kit. http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4.html Im over seas so the truck wont see any wheeling til I get back stateside where I can readily find parts. Is there anything I would absolutely have to buy also with this? Remember it will just be a mall crawler in S. Korea

You need to take a better comparison shot with both 4.5" springs. I have the 4.5" and my buddy has the 3" and the 4.5" are alot stronger. I'd imagine the IRO 3" are alot softer than the IRO 4.5" as well. Can't compare a 3" to a 4.5".

If you download the PDF install manual it says just to redrill. Would it be hard to upgrade to the LA kit down the road?
obviously, but by virtue of removing one and installing the other I'm left with this comparison picture. I'm merely pointing out that the compression rate is higher, which would attribute to less lateral roll, with the IRO wire diameter. I also can tell you that I'm not quite as worried when I let my wife drive the XJ. I have not seen either a 4.5" RC spring or 3" IRO, so you may be right.

I may have to take some installed picks, but I can't pull my springs to compare with a 3".
