I wouldn't buy either of them either.

From iro website.

" We partnered up with Rough Country to put together the best and most complete kit available using some of their top quality parts in conjunction with our top quality parts. You'll be amazed at the transformation for such a low price. Even on stock wheels and tires, your XJ will look, feel, and drive like it should have right off the assembly line. Buy this kit, you'll be glad you did!*"

I wouldn't buy a kit personally. I'd piece together my own.

I bought the series 2 kit comes with full leaf springs , coils, n2.0 shocks. U bolts and sway bar drop bracket, front lower control arm.. I should have pieced it together but this was just to get me started. Over time ill go to long arm, upgrade shocks, iro trac bar, probably shackle lift and relocation and a coil spacer but the kit is just to get me started.

If you buy iro full leaf springs you will need a boomerang type shackle or shackle relocation bracket if you dont have one already there leafs are longer than most.

DO NOT GET ROUGH COUNTRY SHOCKS!!! I promise you they will all be blown out in no time. Save your money and get bilsteins or something along these lines. I had the 2.2 and the 2.0's on my long arm lift and both sets of shocks were blown in under 2 months.

Yeah, buy a cheap junky shock, they'll replace it for free when it wears out!
