I like my IRO trackbar. But if I did it again, I'd go with Clayton, Rockkrawler or Ironman 4x4

Ruffstuff has great stuff and awesome customer service.
They're having a 20% off moving sale right now also. They're moving a few blocks to a bigger shop. If that sale has already passed you can use the promotion code pbb10 to get 10% off anytime. That's the pirate4x4 discount.

I'm running IRO track bars on my XJ and ZJ. I have the tie rod end style on my XJ with the factory bracket and my ZJ has the double shear style with bracket. No issues with either beyond going through the tie rod end on my XJ. No fault of IRO though, just the downfall of tie rods and operating at some extreme angles. When I bought my ZJ it had a snapped single shear heim like posted in Atmos' pic. Bolt snapped when the girl who used to own it was driving, not fun.

And just to point out, IRO's bracket is $60, not $80.

Honestly, I'd rather buy from guys like IRO, Ruffstuff, Liquid Iron Industries, JCR, IronMan Fab 4x4, etc. than a branch of a mega corporation. That's just me though.

which is exactly the reason why I double sheared it before ever even driving it lol

ah where did I get the number $80 from good eye

although I gotta say I never thought I'd see IRO thrown into the same category as ruffstuff..

I just meant smaller independent places, not saying they're grabbing for the same type of clientele as Dan and Co. The guys at IRO aren't bad. They have some products I don't like, but overall their customer service has always been awesome when I've dealt with them and I've been happy with the product I personally run from them. They sponsored Winterfest for the MWC of NAXJA and brought a metric **** ton of product to raffle to support our club. I got to sit down and eat dinner with the owner and his family, as well as his extended work family. They're out there wheeling, having a good time, making some good products, supporting their families, and giving back to the off road community. They really are great people and I can respect what they're trying to do.

We can put together a nice over the axle track bar and crossover steering kit for you. Check out our steering section and let me know if you have any questions.

Another vote for IRO. I got the bracket and bar together, and I remember it being a very reasonable price.

I had a poor experience with RuffStuff. I wont shop with them, but that isn't due to the quality of their product.
