Default Who is running Iron rock offroad lift??

I was looking at there 4 inch lift for some time then i clicked on the 5 inch lift and i noticed that i get a better deal if i buy the 5.5" lift.

So my questions?

How does this lift flex?
What is the ride lift with this lift? also which shocks are u running with it?
Is this a true long arm kit?
Why is 1 arm dif than the other?

Is there a different lift i should go with?

I am running the 6.5 inch. It rides really good. The flex is amazing. Its a great kit. I don't have good pictures of the flex but the front will flex enough to pull your coil spring right out. And the rear is still planted on the ground. That's with their doetsch tech shocks and no sway bars. Definitely recommended

I am rolling on the 5.5" short arm kit. I have the Nitro RC shocks, save your money and buy the Bilstein upgrade. Flex is good, long arm would be WAY better.

Ride isn't too bad, I had to get shackle relocation boxes (I opted for the RC 4.5" leaf pack .)

Flex is good for a short arm kit

I would like to buy the bilstien shocks but that would be another $250 extra on top of the $1300 already.

But i will see what happens next month right now i am about to buy a pre runner winch bumper.

People will argue that its not a true 3 link. It's one lower link and a "radius arm" on the other side.

ok now they are just splitting hairs.. ive out proformed "true" 3 links with iros 3link. as funny as that sounds they make a solid ****in kit.,
but to answer all of your questions.. i run iros6.5" 3link up front and an RE rear with 35s. and dtech shocks.. i cant remember the measurements for the shocks. on road: i run no swaybars 80 on freeways all day, very sturdy, never even question if id roll takeing corners like a racecar.
offroad: couldnt have asked for a more sturdy kit, i beat the **** out of it weekend after weekend and... i may have just scratched the paint? haha.

i hope these work. pics show no justification. i stood in the rainrutt and the front end was about 6 inches above my head.

another note just to add on to the strength part. ive been towed out by the front axle twice, by luck, no towpoints or lockers, didnt break anything

3 links and various radius arms are different suspension configurations. No splitting hairs about it. TNT/rc/serious/etc are not 4 links; their radius arms. Just because IRO touches the axle in 3 places, it is not a 3 link.
