Yea it's a great lift, some people are scared of it, because it only uses one of the upper axle mounts. But hasn't failed me yet. Rides real smooth and nice. The rear leafs are real heavy duty too. Alround great lift and for a good price

Yeah iv heard a few people comment on that. I have the 5.5" and i think its pretty good for the price. I have yet to wheel it but as soon as i get everything up to par ill be giving her a run for the money.

It's not that it only has one arm.

It's that it uses a single 10mm bolt. Half of what the factory uses and has that cheesy castor adjuster.

Yeah boss i got the long arm "critical path" set up. When i looked into this lift b4 i picked it up i read nothing but pretty good reviews. Idk i read alot of bad ones on RE and RC pretty much the ones that were in my price range, unfotunatly i was new to the cherokee scene and never looked up rustys. i probably would have picked up the rustys lift but i went with IRO maily because of the reviews. No regrets so far. but yeah i havent been able to get the alignment done but the guys and gal at IRO told me just to pretty much set the caster adjuster about half way through, in the middle. i should be getting the alignment done this coming week over the holidays while im on vacation, ill let you know. Man and one more time, SWEET RIG !!!

Hey thanks man!
if you could just let me know what you set your caster to that would be great.
