How About the WJs?

Looks good!
The moog replacement bushings in my A Arm haven't lasted even 2 years and I have been thinking about getting the IRO arm.
Did you consider the upgraded joints over the bushings on the body side?
Nope! I’m a rubber bushing on the body side kind of guy. Flex joints everywhere else.

Mommas rig. ‘02 Limited. QD. Jasper Reman 4.7 HO last month. Iron Rock Critical Path LA front on Clayton 4.5” HD springs. JCR sliders. We have had her for about 5 years now. Enjoy it enough to drop coin on a reman after 202K on the ticker. Returned a running core. It sees cool places now and then...but currently farts around town and down to the lake on weekends.

How is the Iron Rock Critical path holding up. I have been looking just to do the front end with the long arm. I am thinking it would improve the offroad ride

I really enjoy it. The ability to set caster is a nice feature. I would install again. Remember, once you go with the high clearance option, there is no going back....stuff gets cut out of the way.

I wish I could claim responsibility for the aesthetic. I was going to do bronze or silver wheels but my other half said they needed to be black and since this is our off pavement rig it makes sense to hide the dirt and brake dust with dark wheels. Thanks for the compliment!

I have about 10k on an Iron Rock Offroad 3 inch suspension lift on an 04 WJ Overland edition. I am happy with the quality of of the lift but I the limiting factor are the very short front control arms. The ride is affected by the short suspension travel. I am looking to do a long arm kit upfront. I am curious to hear what long arms people are running on their daily driver / overlanding WJ?
I do not have long arms, that said if I were going long arms I'd go with IROs Rock Link 3 front and 4 link rear. There are options these days such as Clayton which is very nice. Just pricey. Bang for buck is the IRO kit. IRO does occasional sales or free shipping that really make them a good deal IMO.
