Default Iron rock offroad(iro) discussion

Ok guys, i need opinions and pics of iron rock offroad(iro) lifts. In particular the 5.5" short arm and long arm kits but other sizes welcome too. I am thinking about buying this kit. I have it narrowed down to rc 4.5" x flex and this 5.5" kit. this one will cost me 200$ more but if it's better that's what matters. please give me facts,pics, and personal experiences only. I don't want "my friend said this" or "I know a guy who had it". Thanks everyone

If you are going over 4.5" go with the long ARM. iron rock makes a great product for the price. I will be going with their 7" premium lift on my zj.

I got 6.5 long arm on 33x12.5 duratracs.....

I absolutely love this kit. The ride is great, handles very well on road and flexes like a mad man off road. I highly recommend this to people all the time

I've heard nothing but good things about IRO.

One of my buddies has a 98 ZJ 5.9 with the 7" long arm lift, and its high quality stuff and performs outstanding on the trail. I'd imagine the XJ products they offer are similar fit and finish.

Well that's good. you have a very sharp looking rig. Yours is twice what mine will ever be and I'm having a hard time letting it go. The only reason for it is that Im building my new one hence why I'm asking about lift opinions. I wouldn't sell yours unless you "needed to."

My buddy has a 4.5" Long Arm kit on his WJ and it is very nice. I helped him install it and it has held up great over the last year. Go IRO!
