Ive always used Rubicon express on my previous 3 jeeps. And i beat up my jeeps pretty good on the trails and stuff, And this time around on my XJ i was NOT going to be going with RE . Their bushings, rods, threads all junk!.. I went through 2 gen2 Quick discos, 3 Trackbars, 4 control arms. (Between all 3 previous jeeps lol)..

RE is expensive and to be let down like that is irritating . So i went with Rough country. I like it so far. The trackbar i have is the 4"-6" bar with the drop bracket. Alot more stout than the stock dinky pos

I would go with either RK or IRO they are both good and stout. IRO is around the $140 mark.

I vote Rock Krawler. That is what I run. It is pure beef. One of the last parts I would expect to break on my Jeep.

I went with RK over the IRO because I liked the design of RK's bracket better as well as the joint on the end.

I went with an Ironman4X4Fab "IronmanAndy" one. Its the heaviest duty and beefiest one I have ever used or seen. He can custom make to your specifications. I had him custom make mine with 1.5" SOLID and with his custom Bushing at the axel mount and a larger Jonny Joint at the frame mount. Its fully adjustable. I had him make the adjustment almost fully closed at my 6.5" Ride hight that way I can go higher when I add more lift down the road. I previously was running a RE Tracbar and it was junk but I am still using RE Frame Mount. Give him a call he's a great guy to work with. And you will NEVER Look back and regret it. Plus he's a CF Vendor. So support you Vendor.

Here's a link to the one he pre makes for cherokees...... but you can have him custom make it to what you want!!!

Honestly guys, I appreciate all the input, but the question was RC or ProComp. I'm not going to get RK or IRO. Not because they're bad or anything, but I can get a killer deal on the RC and the ProComp alike, but the ProComp will cost me a little more. I'm heavily leaning towards the ProComp and just want to hear what people who have either think about them.

Oh, and j-rod, that list is pretty beneficial. Thank you.

Hey nordplz, im telling you man give ironman-andy a call he will hook you up.
he can do one even better than RC or ProComp on price and be ALOT BEEFIER!

If you go with RC or ProComp you will regret it. They are a waste of money. It can't hurt to give him a call and see what he can do for you.
