My friend got the IRO 5.5 long arm kit last year and it performed well enough that over the winter I got the long arm upgrade for my xj. It is a stout kit and performs extremly well. I am hard on my jeep and have beat it up for the last 3 weekends in a row. I DO NOT have a pre runner sand dune jumper. I crawl rocks and trail ride. My jeep is locked on 33s. IRO is a great company to deal with. I have used several of their products and am inpressed with the beef. KTM racer is in every single "IRO sucks thread" crying his little baby eyes out. I bet 99% of the people that have the IRO long arm set up are happy, me included. I dont know if I can say I would out flex a buggy but a picture does speak a thousand words.
I can say that I made it two feet further up the ramp than ANYONE else in our group on Saturday.

a picture is worth a thousand words.....nice pic btw. I'm getting a RC 4.5" lift kit this summer, but only cause I'm getting it dirt cheap (used ish), and will eventually upgrade to either the 5.5 or 6.5 LA from IRO when I have the money to do so.

It is the weakest kit on the market
It is not a 3 link
It does wrap with the 3 bushings.
The caster adjuster is the cheesiest way to adjust the caster out there
A 10mm bolt keeping your axle from flopping around is a poor choice.
These are simply facts. I'm not making any of this up. Get over it.
