No, no drilling.
As all the CF vets know by now, I rolled my Cherokee a little over a year ago. That Jeep got pretty ****ed up, but my track bar came out unscathed. I sold it to dukie564, and he's been using it since.
Again, I won't buy anything else. I also got their LCAs (very satisfied) and I'm looking at their OTK steering setup.

Agreed. I've never told anyone the IRO bar is the strongest one on the market, but I have experience to show it's plenty strong for me. The people at IRO are fantastic, too, and I'm happy to buy from them. I've had nothing but good experiences, and they've been more friendly than professional with me on the phone.

Well I put the 53111 pro comp rear springs on today. I removed the existing 2 inch blocks and figure I got about 3 1/2 inch lift all together. I am sure it will settle. The worst part of the install was getting the front spring mount bolt out. It unbolted nicely but then wouldn't come out of the bushing. Saw an idea on here where someone used a pickle fork and it worked with some hammering.

I'm still running mine. It was just the alignment clamps that broke and let the leafs fan out. Called em up and had new clamps in a week. But my roll didn't do as much damage as yours. Check out the video in my sig. Mine was slow and easy.

Mine was 1.5x at 30mph on a gravel road.

Ah man I'm definitely a fan of the theory. I just sit back and read your posts and try to pick up as much as I can. Jeepin is all about test and evaluation from what it sounds like.

It's just time, experience, and a lot of reading.
