Debating between RC & IRO
Now that my jeep is back up and running it's time to continue with my build.
Long story short engine went bye bye and is fixed now
Anyways so with the help of my buddy I have narrowed it down between to lifts. Both would be a 6.5" lift running 35's. I know RC is good because I know a few people that have it but I've been hearing good things about Iron Rock as well. Just wanted to know your guys opinions based on your experience with either company. Here are links to both kits.
Iron Rock:

Rough Country:

What to pick?

those are probably the 2 most budget minded kits out there. but they are cheap for a reason. i wouldnt run them.

I have RC now and like the previous post they are cheap for a reason. The lift was a month old when I bought the jeep all the bushings are shot after a year. I will be ordering the 6.5 iron rock offroad kit in a couple weeks if everything works out. My expierience is avoid rough country. My friends had problems also with RC kits on a wrongler and a couple zjs's. THis is just my expierence which every one has different expieriences.

seen them in action, they allow the axle to wrap too much (thats what happens when you use all factory rubber bushings and less of them than factory), i dont trust a single 10mm bolt for an upper control arm, especially when stock comes with 2 of them. if and when that goes you are in for some expensive repairs. the caster adjuster is cheesy at best.

One of the reviews I read about IRO.

We've been running their 4 foundation kit for about 3 yrs on our 99 TJ and have no issues. Now it's not a 3/ radius link but quality is awesome. Working on replacing the XJ with their critical path now.

That's what I'm putting in this week. I like the fact that I was able to keep my OME springs with the JKS ACOS upfront. And I called and talked to Derrick and got only what I needed. Saved a ton of money not having to buy the same things over again. I already had their double shear track bar installed and the JKS disconnects.

There's good videos of their jeeps out at Moab. And yes, they drove the jeeps from MN to AZ.
