I'm not personally running it but I'm not sure about running all heim joint steering on the street. It's a cool looking kit,but it's the heims that I would have a problem with.

I run jcr offroad 1 ton otk kit. It uses heavy duty tierods and it is way better than stock stuff. When I first installed it I did have bump steer but that is because my draglink and track bar were not properly aligned to eachother. When I did a full width axle swap I raised the track bar mount to match the drag link. To each his own,but I personally would not run heim joints on the street,and also the ironrock kit puts alot of stress on the passenger side knuckle because it uses a single shear point to mount two parts. Though likely it wouldn't be a problem on street,but on trails and depending on what size tire you run you may break that knuckle. Just food for thought

I'm working on photos now but you can go to www.jcroffroad.com and see the otk kit. It's not a straight bolt on it takes some cutting and fab work.but in my opinion it's worth it.
