I like IROs, its a pretty common design. I get all my stuff through Staangs Fab here in Canada but IRO works too.

I've got both on my site and for your application I recommend the top one. The lower pic shows the LCA mount that is built for use on a rig that uses Cam Bolts (ZJ, TJ).

Let me know if you want a link.

it's 1/4" steel over the factory 1/8", this is not rocket science. There is no reason to run a cam bolt down there, why even consider it.

Well, I'm not a know it all in regards to this stuff. So, when someone doesn't know something they ask. I didn't know the difference. I didn't know anything about this said cam bolt or whatever. HENCE why I asked....

No need to be a dick. I saw two different designs and asked. Chill

The XJ does not require a CAM-Bolt at the axle on the lower control arm. On the XJ, the caster is controlled by the frame mount, hence the slider and slot on the lower control arm frame mount.

Get what ever one has the single straight hole.
