Serious, I spread the wealth I just picked up rubicon express coils from you a few days ago. So technically I upgraded from rough country to rubicon I'm doing something right?

How do you install with the vehicle on the ground? Being il need to rotate the axle the extra 1/2" or so to accommodate the extra control arm length

Park in front of a car tree anything solid. Reason in a minute. Pull out one LCA install the rear of the new LCA loosely. Now take a ratchet strap or if the vehicle in front has a winch (super easy) wrap it around the front axle. Ratchet or winch the axle forward a little until the LCA lines up. Install the bolt loosely again. Repeat the other side. Tighten the four bolts. Done!!! Hour at most if the bolts are not rusted.

Sounds like a plan! I appreciate it greatly, thank you. Bolts will come right out as I just had the arms disconnected to install my 4.5 coils. No way I was squeezing them thick, stiff RE springs into the coil bucket without a spring compressor

Title says it all. Was wondering who has them, what brands hold up, what bushings hold up best. I'm looking for at least lower arms for now, uppers in the future. I'm at 4.5" on fixed short arms that need to be 1/2" longer. That extra 1/2" helps to clear my 33s better.

Thanks for your input. I already bought the IRO adjustable lowers and I will probably need upper arms soon as well. Can I ask how much lift your running as 4.5" and higher tends to ride a bit harsh due to control arm angle. The IRO arms also have the stock rubber style bushings and I'm anxious to see how they compare to my skyjacker fixed polyurethane control arms
How did your IRO adj lca hold up over the years. I am looking to buy them myself. Any input is appreciated. Thank you

Mine took about a week to get to NM. Your closer so maybe less. Install was a snap. Don't even have to lift it off the ground.
