It's not very big, I don't like its joints/ bushings, rc is a low cost supplier but sometimes it reflects in the product

I think that iro and rc track bars are the same.....They both say Massive 1.25" outside diameter.... as for me i do not have either one but i will most likly go with the Rubicon Express....gona order that + some in bout 2 weeks

id stay away from anything that runs the stock size bolts. and anything that doesnt include a new double shear bracket. im a fan of the rockkrawler setup. or a rubicon express hd trackbar with the 1/2" bolt upgrade.

Cut the welds with a thin cut-off disc.

I've had the IRO double shear track bar for over three years with no issues. They're my pick
