Default IRO Double Shear Track Bar Upgrade Question

I didn't want to start a new thread for this but after quite a bit of searching, I couldn't find the answer. I currently am sitting around 4.5" of lift and running a RC adjustable track bar with the weak TRE. My question is does anyone know what the thread size is on the RC TRE? I'm looking at getting the IRO double shear track bar upgrade and using it in conjunction with my RC bar. The IRO website says it will work with a M22x1.5 left hand thread rod end.

Any feedback will help here guys.

Call rough country. They will give you all the specs on the track bar.

After multiple attempts to get someone on the phone.....it is in fact M22x1.5 LH thread.

Any feedback from anyone using the IRO heim joint setup?

I just put on on IRO tb and brace. I'm liking it a lot so far. Steering is way tighter.

The IRO DS TB upgrade doesn't have any heim joints.

You are correct, I didn't look close enough.

Has anyone else used this DS setup?

I'm using the IRO upgrade kit with RC bar out of the 4.5" x kit. No problems to report.

Just wanted opinions on how it's worked for you. Better than other setups, etc.

~1 year. I can't claim to have pushed it hard but it did solve some problems I was having on fast curvy roads.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I'll be ordering the kit from IRO!

I'm running the iro ds track bar. I ended up putting a flex joint in it on the frame side mount. Works great.
