At this time I have purchased from Iron Rock Off Road the following:

Cat back
Shackles
Coil Spacers

I have purchased from Quadratec the following:
Heavy Duty Shocks, front and rear
Soon to purchase Heavy Duty Leaf springs from them too

This will be my Suspension build for my daily driver work vehicle. Pictures to come once all installed. Of course there will be a before and after.

My opinions so far:
The Iron Rock Off Road cat back is priced right. I give it a 10 out of 10 for price. For quality of material I again give it 10 out of 10. For fit and finish I give it a 7 out of 10. The tail pipe seems to sit a little low and the pipes did not fit nicely and I feel instructions should come with it. Would I buy it again, Yes, but pay to have someone install for a nicer final fit.

The Shackles from IRO are solid well built and good looking items. Have not installed so I do not know other than the initial impression and I like

Their spacers, well I guess all spacers are alike so what can I say.

If you’re looking for a XJ items I would not hesitate to consider them. They have some neat items like the front tow hook setup. If it works with the stock skid I may get that from them next.


Quadratec, well what can you say. Great parts at great prices. IRO gives more personal service though.

Thanks for the review or quadratech and IRO, I am about to start buying things for my 91 buildup and it's nice to see reviews and writeups like this.

Please let us all know after you install and take pictures =)

I am looking forward to seeing how everything goes

My dream was the OME kit. My life said otherwise. So I was thinking what is the best in my budget. I had a credit at IRO so I used it for the shackles and spacer, I needed a new exhaust and this was before the dynomax rebate so IRO won again. Now I had the Dynomax cat back on my 86 camaro and loved it. My dream was to get a Borla Exhaust, but $$$

My leafs are sagged and beginning to invert, well I can justify new stock leafs since I do drive it daily and other than timber roads and fire roads and the occasional mud I will not be going to far off the beaten path so keep it simple and get good tires and good parts. Currently I run 235/75/15 Good Years I scored new for 68 bucks each installed a few months ago so I m stuck there till they wear out. I will get some nice 30X9.5X15s when they wear out. I am considering Geolandar M/T Plus when it is time to get new tires..

I also plan some bumpers, possible winch too, but that is a year off.
