Default question about Iron rock offroad long arms

about to buy the long arm upgrade kit for my mj and trying to figure out if i need the Adjustable arms option for a extra 100 bucks or not. I plan on running either their 8 inch lift coils or the Rubicon express 7.5 inch ones. What coils have the best ride quality?

7.5-8" coils what size tires are you going to run ?
40" tires or larger? IMO adjustable is always better then fixed

There is no way I could fit 40s?! I'm at 32s with 4.5 inches right now and rubbing bad. The rear is lifted to 9 inches right now by the previous owner. This is a beach truck. It's not going to be wheeling on anything besides sand.

You must become one with the sheetmetal, create Zen and tranquility while meditating with a sawzall. Only then will you fit 40's and not rub...


What wheels and backspacing are you running? Have you trimmed at all?

Its a beach truck. Hes not gonna be wheeling it hard or anything. Doesn't sound like he needs 40's, he just wants to have a tall rig.

I do get a chuckle that someone knocking the twin traction beam in huge letters in their sig wants a tall lift with iro longarms however.
