His stuff isn't as bad now, and his springs are good. He's just a douchebag.

I agree with what is being said just want to chime in with my .02.
The IRO bashing falls into the same context as d35's, 00-01 XJ's etc. People are going to ***** and nitpick a product no matter what you choose. Not to mention half of those whining about peoples products choices are rolling stockers. IRO makes a well built economical kit for the weekend warrior.
You've done your research and that is whats most important. I haven't pushed my setup too hard but feel free to reach out with any questions.

Nobody is bashing IRO. I ****ing love those guys. I'm just pointing out that their setup isn't AS STRONG as others. I also said it doesn't matter for Rob or most of us. People are getting so defensive about it lol

It just poured rain....I had to sit here and watch, stuck on a conference call, while my open window and sunroof allowed my Jeep to get SOAKED!
Arg....really kinda comical knowing I was trapped and watching.

Its just bolted in. Haven't had any issues. But if you are considering playing in the rocks a lot I would weld it in just to be safe.

Not pointing any fingers Tim. Was speaking of people outside this group. You know, the ones that jump into the weekly IRO vs RC thread and get all butthurt.
