Default IRO vs. Rustys 2" BB for ZJ

Is there any significant difference between the 2?
The IRO kit is $60 and the Rusty's kit is $100 and comes with bumpstops
Would I even need the bumpstops?

I'm leaning toward IRO because of the price and good things I have heard about them

Also can I get an estimate on installation time

With BB lifts, there's not a huge difference between any of them. They're all basically the same. (i believe so, at least). As for installing it, rent a spring compressor from AutoZone. With you, a friend and a spring compressor you can have it done in less then a day. It's extremely simple!

Thanks for the answer man, how much would renting a spring compressor likely cost?

Well, with AutoZone you actually buy the tool. Then, whenever you're done you just take it back. I think it was like $50, but you get a full refund.
Oh, and i'd go with IRO, their customer service is excellent, and they're offering free shipping right now.

No problem. Just noticed free shipping is only for orders over $100, though. I installed a BB in my old WJ, it was a PITA but that's only because i didn't have a spring compressor. With one, it would've been extremely simple.

I'm gonna try to convince my mom to loan me the extra money i need to throw in the optional shocks, which would raise the order over 100 for the free shipping lol worth a try

Well, in your case it would probably be better to do free shipping. They don't combine discounts, and the JP magazine one was 10% off your total order. I used the 10% off, but that's because i ordered a 4.5" Long arm lift from them. Just send them an e-mail requesting a quote both ways, to see which is cheaper. I told them i had the JP magazine discount code, and they didn't even ask for it.
