currently have my 96 xj sitting on rough country's 4.5in long arm kit. with added 1 3/4" spacers

long term id like to put in shackle relocators and/or new 5.5" leafs
as well as replace the coil+spacer setup for a 5.5in coil.
and then finally go in and replace my skyjacker shocks with some bilsteins.

my question is what your opinion on adding new long arms to the list is?
and if so what do you think if the IRO long arm set up
iro long arm
what long arm would you recommend

IRO are also radius arms but they are missing one of the upper links, and their crossmember has a smaller skid plate then RC. So I dont see the point.

definately seems to be a step backwards.

if anything i would upgrade to a 3/4 link longarm setup like clayton or RK

I think your fine to stay with RCs long arms. Put ur money into some nice Blisteins.

Yeah, what an invention. Isn't that what the adjustable uppers are for in every other ylink setups?

stick with what you have. So far I am not terribly impressed with the IRO long arms.

RC looks a little beefier to me over IRO. You've got more armor with RC and all your joints are rebuildable.
