Well I actually was going to go with these till I got long arms but now that I know that's a welded bolt I'll pass. However the uppers look plenty strong and affordable so I see no issues with those.

I would like to get the iro short arms but all I find on there website is the rough country arms and I'm not letting rough country anywhere near my rig.

Where is link for iro arms posted on first page?

Crazy those iron man arms are $213 for poly bushings and $333 for rubber. I will never run poly bushings on a daily. My old man emu leafs have poly bushings and they are noisy as he'll. Screw that you might as well save for long arms at the at point. Iron rock I would jump on but I need arms before 4th July and shipping is the one thing I hear about them consistently that is horribly long

I'm not here to promote Ironman and for that reason I specifically did not post a link.


As for Poly.....these are on my DD, I too was skeptical. Not noisy at all. One thing I will say is my front end is TIGHT!
Those and a JKS TB and OME springs and 28mm swaybar............nice ride.


Ironman is the only one that preloads his poly......check out the center sleeves.

Thanks for the info and review, that's good to know. I was just looking at them again and seen they are greasable on both ends as well.

I'll consider these till next payday. If a set of Rubicon Express arms don't pop up on craigslist I think this may fit the bill.

Rustys adj arms have rubber bushings that is what I have on mine, they are the same size as the poly bushings if you ever want to change over $189 pr.

I'm thinking about getting the Core 4x4 Fab LCA's.

These ones look completely different from the ones posted on the first page. No welded nut to bushing.


Here's the ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lower-Adjustable-Control-Arms-Jeep-Cherokee-Wrangler-Grand-XJ-TJ-ZJ-/161697351754?hash=item25a5e9c84a&vxp=mtr

Here's the ebay link Lower Adjustable Control Arms Jeep Cherokee Wrangler Grand XJ TJ ZJ | eBay

Why? For a few more dollars you can get proven parts, the IRO adjustable arms are $190 their none adjustable are $129. You can save money for a couple more weeks until you can buy good arms. I don't understand why people are willing to try so so parts for a $30-$40 difference.

just look at the build quality of IRO vs Core

I almost puke every time I read a post on here. Sure the Core ones are bolt welded to a bushing, who cares, how the hell do you think the threaded rod is attached to the IRO arms?!?
