Im about to buy the RC upgrade just because it looks put together better and you get the t-case skid haha. I have heard both good and bad things about the RC and the IRO upgrade so I think its just a personal opinion, so my opinion is RC

the thing i dont like about the iro is it only uses the two stock cross member bolts for mounting. which just seems to me that would cause alot of stress on the unibody. the rc has away better way of attachment.

I run the RC and I am happy with it to be honest. I dont like IRO for the mounting that is my gripe and it is still a radius arm set up...
