I have the 5.5 long arm kit. I've only had it for less than 2 months buy so far I love it. Great on the highway and the 1 day I had it on the trails it did great. I got the dotch tech shocks and the quick discos with it. The parts are all very well built and the only problems I had on the install was the rusted in bolts on the rear leaf springs.

Would definetly recommend iro to anyone.

I have the 5.5 long arm and absolutely swear by it! It rides amazing and flexes like crazy! I've been running the kit for almost 2 years now. I run mx6 shocks. I did run the cheap shocks you can get with the kit from iro and they rode fine as well. I'm running no away bars and I drive it daily with no noises or poor handling. Flex with this kit is only limited by your shocks haha. It's also really nice to have the drop out crossmember center section for trans work ect... And I have had zero problems with the control arm cam getting loose or any breakage and I have beat on it!

I'm not sure I threw the boxes away. They are the dotch tech shocks that can be upgraded with the long arm kit.
