an RC long arm kit would be fine if your mostly going to street it, i knw a guy that beats the **** out of his RC long arms and theyve never busted on him, but keep some extra bushings on hand just in case

i strongly suggest rock krawlers 3 link set up, ive found it for 700, this is the kit i'll eventually have, great flexy arms for a decent price tag compared to some of the other kits out there that wont flex quite as well as a 3 link setup

Not running IRO, but I know guys who are. They all seem pretty happy with their product and wheel pretty dang hard. Do your research, find someone local who has the kit and will let you check it out, and decide for yourself.

As they say, opinions are like *******s, everyone has one and they all stink. IRO threads always bring the lolz.

Empty pockets i kinda agree i think some just like to bash IRO because they dont own the setup them selves. I just got off the phone with them and was told the castar problem was with one person that they ever know of. I defiently think its a good kit plus made in the USA. I believe some of those other kits just cost so much because of the name. Lets face it and there will always be that guy that will tell you rough country is junk to me personally i dont think the have a bad kit at all.

Lmao. I don't like the IRO kit because I don't have it. Yes, Rough Country is the absolute best thing you can buy, they don't make rickety XJ products either.

What do I know?

Will, there's no use. People are going to defend it to the grave. The obvious flaws in the design are never going to be enough to convince people who are out to save a buck. As long as that piece of junk is on the market at a cheaper price than any other set-up they're going to buy it. Kinda like RC, it's cheap so they buy it just to be able to say they have long arms. Anyone with common sense and the desire to have a quality product would pay attention to the hundreds of complaints on this design.

It's an incredibly dumb design.

Here, this thread was started yesterday, I believe.
