I run the Rk one on my XJ< and no Issues. You have to enlarge the lower mount hole to 9/16. It is pure beef.

I have also ran the RE hd TB with Brace. I had zero Issues with it too, and have had it since 95. Only replaced the lower bushing once.


JKS makes a high quality product, and I have never heard anything bad about them.

I'm running the one you don't have listed. The Rough Country Double shear with mounting bracket. Better priced than any of those you have listed..

that iron man one looks... scary.

I run a ORGS (old school JKS) with all original bushings and the thing rocks. its probably 8 years old now.

I also like there no BS warranty. Just make sure you use red loctite on jamb nut once you get it set right.
