I am looking at the same kit from iro ...
Probably pair it with their track bar kit.
A guy I bought a few parts from on Craigslist had that jcr setup. Its beefy for sure but he said he lost a lot of turning radius. Just his words. But I did notice the iro setup has bends in the tie rod which I'm sure helps with that.
I've been trying to find out if iro is on the site or if we get a discount.

I wonder if you have to relocate your sway bar mounts like all other OTK kits because they don't mention that. I would go for the larger bolts because using a smaller bolt in a tapered hole is going to move around. I used 3/4" bolts on mine.

I have the kit with the 5/8 upgrade and its great. Beefy as hell and very solid. It tightened up the steering by leaps and bounds; so much actually it brought out how weak the stock steering box really is. The heims are a little noisy and are very beefy; but not as soft as tres. Don't feel any dead spots in the steering either. Overall I'm totally happy with the purchase and feel it was worth my money.
