1.http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=PFX
2.http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep_xj_4xla.html

i do realize if i get the IRO ill need a new driveshaft and SYE but if i go RC ill just need the SYE, help me out guys?
With either one you'll need the driveshaft. Unless you have one already. I know someone that has the iro lift and loves it and he is at 6.5 with the lower control arms bracket still on and has and no problems so far. He took some pretty big flex pics and for the price its not bad at all. I've seen a lot of guys run the rc long arm one didn't like because of the rear springs being too stiff. And the other says he liked it but his looked like it was just for show and no go.

When I get mine I'm looking at either clayton or bds.
Clayton because I like the arms 2x2 square is some tough metal to bend and I my bud runs some of there componets and like them a lot. Bds I got a killer deal for the 6.5 local for like 1700 for everything and the same bud has some of there stuff too and likes it pretty good. Its just all depends on what you wanna spend too.

There's bad reviews about all of them some more then others. But remember too a lot of people that send the reviews don't know what there are doin when installing the kit or messed up and try to fix it and blame the kit for the problem too.

Also thing about if you have to do tranny work or sending it out anytime in the future one has a three piece crossmember and one doesn't. So that could be a cost factor if a shop takes it out. Yea one piece is stronger then 8 bolts but Idk one that one.

Flexes pretty good. I know they're poser shots, but they're the best I have at the moment.
