Default Anyone With IRO 6.5 lift!!

Calling all guys running the Iron Rock Offroad 6.5 LA kit, I just installed my kit and about to install my SYE kit and Driveshaft.



Any of you guys running a pitman arm drop? if so how much drop and who did you go through?
Any of you guys running shims in rear? if so, which Degree? ( I know all Xjs will be different, just trying to compare. and who did you go through to get them?

thanks for any help!

A stock ZJ arm gives you a 1 in. drop.

I am running iro long arms, rustys 8.5" coils, 4" drop pitman arm, the arm is too long I am getting some bumpsteer as the drag link and track bar are not parrell. make sure you buy a good track bar like the iro double shear or teraflex lcg bar. I bought the rough country as it flexes. I recommend the stock pitman first then try a zj if you need more drop. I also run a 5 degree shim. I highly recommend the shackle relocation I made my own but you can buy them. It made a world of difference.
