The arms are a wierd design. The only thig holding the axle In place is one stock sized UCA bolt, and their proprietary "camber adjuster" and the upper arm is welded to the upper arm.

I was looking to get this too can other people post too? I'd like to know what a few ppl think I had a buddy that dd a xj with this set up and loved it. Said it articulated very very well and was strong. But that's just one person.

Yeah lets NOT turn this into an IRO debate/tech question. If you've got questions about an IRO lift kits ask them here.

Branden has already said why IRO is crap.. No need to discuss it any longer.

The problem with this is that the ram is mounted to the frame... That's retarded. The ram should mount to the axle.

Driving down a straight flat road, it'd be fine. The first time that thing articulates it's going to explode.

It's on a Wrangler.
