I almost went with those but changed my mind to clayton for 3 reasons.

1. Clayton has a 3 peice crossmember. Most long arm kits have a 1 peice crossmember. Therefore if you need to drop the t-case or tranny, you have to dissamble the suspension also. The clayton crossmember eleminates that problem.

2. Clayton uses currie joints. There the best joints you can get.

3. Square tubing. I believe its stronger than round. And its different than everyone elses long arms.

Well if you're still wanting info on the ironman short lca's, they're great. Beefy as hell, easy to adjust/setup.

I assume theres not Too much info on them as they really don't give people any issues.

hey thanks

now im looking at the ironman long arms... i thought i remember that ironman used to offer a crossmember...? it doesnt seem to be on the site anymore. was i imagining things?

what crossmember would work with ironman long arms?

im still considering the short arms also though. the money saved could be new steering. only problem is that im needing new tires also. if it werent for the tires i would go long arms. we will see.

I have IronMan's adjustable short control arms. I love them, lots of beef. I went for the poly bushings, and I don't foresee them dying anytime soon. They are coupled with a 3inch lift, and flex pretty well.

thanks for the input. do you mean that you went poly bushings all around? instead of poly on one end and JJ on the other?
