Iron Rock Offroads lifts and other stuff is the best you can get for an XJ but Th can't touch Rough Country's good deal on price. We have a special good deal on Rough Country stuff through our guy on the Forum. (GRIMUSXJ92) or just call Rough Country and ask for Jason or just tell whoever you talk to that you are a member of Cherokeeforum. Thay all know to give is the discount and we usually get free shipping. Yeah, Rough Country's stuff is quality and nobody can beat their prices.

I wouldn't say rc has to good of quality, tbrown@06 has the 6.5 LA kit. Hasn't had it for a year yet, greases the bushings everytime, an they are all worn out an has bent 3 track bars so far. The iro lift comes with a better trac bar.

Well I have heard from more than few people about the rc bushings being bad, haven't heard a single thing negative about IRO. I will be calling tomorrow morning to order my lift from IRO unless I hear something crazy for either lift. I like the IRO as a company just because it seems like they are probably smaller and only specialize in jeeps. Rc makes something for everything so are they really putting everything they have into the lift for an xj? Who knows.

Can you guys help me locate a good place to wheel between Randle and Packwood or along skate creek road? My wife wants to camp around Packwood on Memorial Day for the swap meet and I need somewhere to go...

I think I might have seen it a while back. I'll keep an eye out! I drive mine almost daily but she's still stock. I got my RE lift, and 35" Km2's sitting in my basement waiting for a chance to install.
