He didn't mention the IRO kit uses HALF the amount of STOCK sized bolts that came STOCK on a STOCK XJ UCAs.

But it's ok. I'm sure that one little 10mm bolt that keeps you alive will never break.

every jeep handles a lift differently...it all depends on what other parts you have. and i think its a transfer case drop

Tisk tisk. That one bolt that hasn't broken after a couple years of straight beating my lift.

Im pretty sure we have had this debate before. And just because you dont like the idea of one bolt for upper controll arms, doesn't make it a bad idea.

And yes the bends are for clearance. I can turn my 35's full stock lock left and right and nit rub anything

ive talked to alot of you guys already. But im looking to pick up these 3.5in coils on thursday for $50.
http://reading.craigslist.org/pts/3201456801.html

Heres the add off craigslist. he said hes not quite sure what brand they are but that when he put them up to his 4.5in coils that were on his jeep currently they were the same heigth (im sure thats because they werent compressed)

Do you think its a good deal?

How can i tell if there xj coils?
Thanks for the help.

As far as I know, the only company that makes 3.5" coils is RE but I could be wrong. And RE coils are grey not black. Those look too short as well but its hard to tell with nothing to compare them to

I thought they looked short too

Here's what my 3 inch ones look like next to stock and well of course the stock one was compressed
