You always rag on them with no substance to your claims. The arms are thicker than Serious, thicker than RC or RE etc. There is one picture floating around where some guy slid off a beam, landing on the sub frame causing it to bend (I believe you are the one who posted it up). Do that with any kit and it will bend. I love how you just assume the thousands of us who run their kit don't wheel. I tell you what- Ill start posting positive reviews (most of which who wheel) and you start posting negatives.. see who has the most.

IRO makes a good kit. You are just mad that you spent 3x as much and trying to find ways to justify it. I have put ALOT of cash into my XJ. I just feel no need to replace the IRO kit as it has worked flawlessly for so long.

This. I know veteran wheelers that know and run RC, I run RC and dont rag on other. Yeah theyre cheaper than other, but I keep up woth people that have poured thousands into there rig, with my 300 dollar kit and 700 dollar tires. But **** im on a college budget so I get what I can afford amd still makes my jeep capable

599.00. I have ran their entire 6.5 kit for 4 years and 140,000 mile without any problems. I have also purchased a lot of other stuff from them- with no issues. I am now, finally, having to replace the super-flex (Rubicon express) joints in the ends. Go ahead and do some research- everyone who has their stuff loves them and have virtually no complaints. Most who don't hate it for various reasons but mostly because of the castor adjustor (once again- never an issue for me). Their arms are made with more metal than 80% of the kits out there and I don't have anything bad to say about them.
not trying to start stuff but do you do real rockcrawling or wheeling cause for your flex joints to last that long or not have an issue with their castor adjuster you must not and their made with more metal because of that stupid plate they put in between the upper and lower arms...

op strongest and nicest kit i give to clayton you cant do better than square control arms and a three piece weld-on xmember...my close 2nd would be tnt and for what its worth i wheeled the crap out of my rustys long arms that i bought second hand from a wheeling buddy and they were awesome

I spent the same as the IR **** kit costs on my set up. I am 100% positive my Clayton crossmember with its 1/4" rec tube and 3/8" flanges would not have bent if I landed on the same block.

My arms an 2x2.25 square tube with 2.5 JJ's. Stronger than 2" .25 DOM.

There are plenty of pictures of their kit being the junk it is, I don't like the design of it and that's that. I could care less if you wheel your Jeep or if you love that kit.

I hate that every long arm thread turns into an arguement about IRO. Why can't we just disagree without trying to prove eachb other wrong. I have never run their kit, I personally do not like it. HOWEVER I can not rightfully say it's junk. Because I have no experience with it. And it does seem that most people who have it are very happy with it. And honestly if the kit were that bad, I feel like IRO would have changed it by now.

It all depends do you want a 4 link or radius arms or 3 link? Mall crawling or ***** to the wall wheeling?
Radius clatyon, serious, tnt. 3 link clayton, serious, rock crawler. 4 link bds, full traction or rcd I don't think anyone else does 4 link.
