The IRO kit is mostly bolt on, u will have to drill a few holes. It uses a radios arm on driver side and a single lower arm on passenger side. I would Defanitly get there track bar with it.

This thread will soon be found by a few people who will bring this up, but do you trust the IRO kit using a single 10mm bolt from keeping your axle from folding under your Jeep?

That seems to be the biggest complaint, but the only picture I'v seen shows it was not assembled correctly by the installer.

Neither, Check out seriousoffroad long arms if you want that style and price. Way better than both those.

Our warranty says it all.
If you (the original purchaser) bend one of our arms, we'll replace it.
If you break the crossmember, we'll repair or replace it.
And that's a lifetime warranty too.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Don't jump the gun on a crappy kit just because you have barely enough to go long arms. Save up MORE of your money and buy a quality kit. You don't want to buy a crappy kit that you're going to end up replacing in a year because it wore out on you.

Get the Serious long arms from the get go and save yourself the near-future headache

To clarify things a little bit. With radius/y-link suspension. There is a long lower, and the upper arm is attached to the lower arm.
Whereas a traditional 3/4-link has 2 long lower arms and 1/2 upper arm/s.
As far as the IRO kit goes, it's not the 10mm bolt that is the big issue, but the caster adjuster.

For the price I would consider either the rock krawler 3 link (no wendling required, but cutting is)

Or full traction 4 link upgrade.
