No this kit will not fit a ZJ but they do have one on the rack in R&D and they are going to see about making one for them also.

ah crap.... I really like the way they look on the 4.5" lift, but I might be picking up a set of 33's locally for a great price. I guess I'll just have to make them work. I won't be wheeling it for quite some time, so hopefully they won't rub too much just rolling down the road as my DD.

Oh, and my wife and kids will be going up to PA for the week of turkey day and I already took off of work, but will be staying at home with the dogs. We just got a crazy puppy (german sheppard and either mastiff or dane mix). He's 6 months old and I don't want to take him on the long trip or to the in-laws place just yet. SSSOOO... I will have time to maybe do my lift then. I just don't have anyone to help me, so it might actually take me ALL week

my longarms mount in basically the same location and it has never been an issue

iro doesn't know what they are selling.

I just wasn't sure if your 6.5" kit would be too high for mostly road use or if I should do the 5.5" IRO kit. Does your 6.5" kit require you to go like 2mph around turns lol? I can't wait to get home and see the pictures in this thread to help me decide!

you don't need all that lift for 35's, nevermind 33's...

i think 4.5" and 35's is the sex for an all around wheeler

This looks like a great product. I have been running a RC 3" kit for a few years now and it is still holding up great. I know there are people out there that will bash RC, but from my experience it functions well without sacrificing too much on road comfort. I will def upgrade to this kit when the time comes. I can only imagine how much better the on road comfort will be with the upgraded shocks and LA's. Keep up the good work...

Picked up the RC 4.5" aal kit today for $300 as well as some american racing rims with "33 pro comps mounted on them for another $300. Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me. Check out my build thread in my sig later for pics of them propped up against the HEEP.

Hey Ryan i was wondering if your kit will work for an XJ with an 8" lift from Clayton i really dont want to spend over $1000 for their long arms
Thanks Ryan Peterson
