That's the general consensus on every site. Great company, great parts, great service...just don't get their LA kit. I love 'em, but I'll be going elsewhere for that.

If it does on one side more than the other then your axle is off centered. Also you can have your wheels straight and measure from the frame rails to the inside of the tire and see if there is a difference. Look around for the slop in your sway bar, is it from a bushing? Post a pic of your jeep!
Sweet man thanks for the quick check tips for the axel being off center. Here is a before and after. As far as the rear sway bar, I didn't take one off so, I'll check as soon as it stop pouring down rain haha. No rubbing of tires at all but I'll measure from the frame rails to check anyways.

How is it different? Other than there's just one bolt with IRO instead of 2 like stock?

hard impacts, and i mean extremley hard the adjustment bracket will slip enough to take some of the force, preventing the bolt to break. thats an assumption, and i could be wrong. wouldnt be the first time. im just saying the bolt isnt supporting the solid ca, there is a little bit of play in worst case scenario

IRO LA would most likely be more than adequate for me. The thing is, if I'm spending the time and money to install long arms, I want the best setup. One that has a blatant failure point gets marked off the list of options immediately.

i see the bracket slipped, but how is that a failure? it slipped, slide it back. its alot better than snapping a bolt, and having the axle tubes twist, or worse yet having the pumpkin spin

What does IRO say about the design and any failures?
