I like it, but expensive!!! The IRO is alot less......its also looks like Whitbykj's diff bracket design too....but theres only so many ways to make a bracket that works....

What is the price you found? Because I can't find it on their site. All I can find is the other weld on setup.

Never mind, I found it, but I had to use the search feature.

Hows the handling diffrence? Does this allow vetter articulation? Do the brackets get welded in or bolted?

Handles better
Better articulation
bolted on where the stock bracket bolted onto

Probably because I'm feeling fairly stupid this morning, but I can't find it on the site - even using the search feature. How much does it cost, and what about corrosion? I ask the latter, because I live in England, and the bolts on my JbA UCAs rust, to the point where I'm putting rust convertor chemicals and oil on them every other week.

Also, if you don't mind me saying, 6000 miles doesn't seem like much of a longevity test. The upper boomerang may not be wonderful, but the first one lasted me for 7 years before it had to be replaced.

I've had my KJ for 9 years, and I intend to keep it for as long as possible, so I don't mind spending money on improvements/upgrades, but I don't want to spend a sizeable wedge on something that will need to be replaced after a year or two - even if it is an improvement for that time.

MOPAR tri-links last me about a year at best, aftermarket 3 months tops, so 6000 miles on mine could be more like 60,000 "plus" on someone else's like yours possibly :lol:

Plus others are out there with maybe 30 days or less of testing
Marlin (JBA) is a mechanical engineer so not like someone who welds some metal together and thinks it will work. He runs the numbers/ knows what works what doesn't
Anything rusts, even the bodies of cars when well treated so yes there will or could be some rust, just normal maintenance
My 04 I bought new and still have it with 218,000 miles so I intend to keep all of mine going as long as possible as well

Thanks Tom. I'll probably get it in a few months - we've just had to have our roof redone, so moneys a bit tight right now.

Yep. Got some exciting stuff at the shop this weekend.......I guarantee that only two other people know and they aint saying a word.

And actually the whole combination has been tested for a over a year now....its nothing new, just very hush hush, becuase "someone" said it couldn't be done, said he didnt wanna get flamed like he did when he went to 32" tires on a 3.5" lift. Granted his arm setup wasnt refined like the one thats out now, but its a basic design of a bracket.

But now hes doing triangulated long arms......and 35" tires.....

But I guess you already knew about all of that

Going to be installing one on a 2.5 - 2.75 inch lift here soon. Not sure where the guy sits at for sure exactly
I think anywhere from the normal Ironman/ OME with no extras up to 4-5 inches with no issues
