Reason for IRO radius arms and not a true 3-link? Just curious. All I can say is you're gonna love having LA's. SOOOOO much nicer.

its what i could afford, my tax return was 800$ and ive been looking at upgrading for a long time, plus i see a lot of good review on them. when i get a nicer welder (i currently dont have a 220v outlet available to me) i will make a true 3 link, until then, this will have to work

That's what I figured. Tends to be the case most of the time. IRO gets a lot of crap from some people but they're honestly not that bad. I know a few people that have their set up and it works really well. Just be sure to get proper length shocks and extended brake lines as well.

yeah i will get longer lines later, i work at orielys and found a set i can use that are 8 inches longer so itll be okay for a while. i still need shocks, but now that i have these arms coming i can start getting little stuff like sye and nicer shocks, its a process, my jeep has been down for remodeling almost a month now lol

trust me I understand. One option for cheaper front brake lines is a set off a Dodge full size van. They're not steel braided, but they're pretty long and should keep you in good shape.

A little over a week ago there was post here on this forum about an SYE on Amazon.com special for $129 shipped I jumped on it as I was getting ready to order one the next day for exactly $100 more + shipping.

Congrats on the Long Arm
