Argue away.... torn between 2 LA kits...
2000 xj
I'm torn between 2 long arm kits....
1- Iron rock 5.5" LA kit
2- RC 4.5" LA kit
I want to run 32 or 33's (yes i know they'll fit)
It's my DD and will be doing mild offroading. Want the best one that'll allow the tires to be tucked as much as possible so i'm thinking about going with 4" bs on the wheels
Ready.....
Go!!!

RC kits have issues with front bushing wear like crazy also from everyone I know that runs them... I know it costs much more but TandT's is frickin awesome with a full belly skid and the lowers are bent so they dont hang up like other kits with straight lowers...

These are two of the bottom feeder kits. I know people who have run both in the past and have since upgraded to a higher quality setup. I know I know, price is a big factor here, but for a couple hundred bucks more, Id save my pennies.
Any longarm will flex just fine, seems thats all you are going for here.
Ive never been hung up on straight lowers.

www.seriousproductsoffroad.com has their own LA kit that is beefy and stout when I purchase a LA it's either this one or RE but, serious offroad is a better price for the same thing.

I would save up more money and get a better long arm kit. I have claytons and they're great. One of the things that's nice about them is that you can remove the cross member without having to take the long arms off with it.

Thanks everyone!
So much input.. Still hard to hit the "buy" button on one of them. I understand these are lower end kits....i'm just wanting to pick between one of these two. I would love to get a much better one and I don't need to save my pennies for them if I was to choose to get a higher quality one.
Sounds like RC lost this battle.... prob go with the Iron Rock kick. Seems to be less negative complaints about that one....
Just don't know...

I should probably clarify why i'm not going all out on the lift. This particular Jeep is not worthy of anything nice ;-)
