Near Denver. I think I'm going with the iro 3 piece. That's a good benefit to have. Thanks for the info

yeah having a 3 piece is nice, just mount it in the 1" drop position for the ax-15 and it lines up great.

They have been great, the tubing is 1/4" wall and joints are all very stout. Both upper and lower arms are adjustable. There are plenty of other good LA set ups out there but I have been happy with mine. And I know they work well with the iro crossmember. The upper joints fit with no problem and with the iro x member the arms mount a bit closer to the center line of the body so you get a more triangulated setup.

Triangulation is totally irrelevant on a front axle with a trackbar.

I realize you dont need triangulated links when you have a track bar keeping the axle in place. This crossmember mounts the links a little farther inward, all i'm saying is it has helped my ride quality over the last one I used that had them running more parallel. With a track bar triangulation isn't necissary but it isnt totally irrelevant either.

does anybody know for sure if the RC arms will work with an IRO crossmember??? I already have a set of RC arms but like the 3 piece design of the iro crossmember.
