right on! from the pics it looks very tight. could be the angle. how do you like the IRO LA's?

The TJ/LJ Rubicon wheels are 5 x 4.5, the JK are 5 x 5. So yes, the early Rubicon will fit any XJ/ZJ/TJ/LJ without a problem.

I love the IRO kit. It rides good, flexes awesome, and was pretty easy to install.

Going to have to say very nice look rig... Can't wait to see more pics... so get a new camera already... sheesh... LOL... I am going to end up with pretty much the same setup as you got minus the starting lift will be a full Rusty's 4.5" with the spacer and shackle once I get the money to hit that stage... for now I will just be going with the 4.5"...

He's right, he still has a good bit of play in the brakeline. You can see where the brake line would be if it was tight compared to where it is now.
