yeah I noticed that too. his are a lot stiffer. IRO used RC springs don't they? or at least for the leaf packs? wonder if it's because yours is a newer version or something like that

hope my 5.5" lift doesn't sit higher than 5.5" cause that's the highest I want to go.

Agreed. 32s will be too small.

Rock Krawler?

The IRO bashing falls into the same context as d35's, 00-01 XJ's etc. People are going to ***** and nitpick a product no matter what you choose. Not to mention half of those whining about peoples products choices are rolling stockers. IRO makes a well built economical kit for the weekend warrior.

You've done your research and that is whats most important. I haven't pushed my setup too hard but feel free to reach out with any questions.
So far I enjoy their steering. Looking at their stuff for the TJ but really want rock krawler.

IRO does not use RC to make their springs...

From a chat a while back:
The coil springs are outsourced to a small spring shop out side of the main shop, in Minnesota.
The leafs are made in Canada to their own specs
