I made the mistake of purchasing these arms instead of jba's. Still waiting on a reply email about my return. Wish I could post the pics of these a arms bottomed out on my strut assembly's. To anyone who for any reason is still debating this product, save your money and buy jba's product.



Your KJ has struts installed??? Well... there's your problem right there.

Do not install an OTT lift without an extended bumpstop.

it's been known to kill front shocks in a weekend - actually it only takes a couple of full cycles of the suspension - because you're topping out on the shock internals - they're not made for it.

And even then on 6 year old springs and shocks you'll be swapping to full spring lift soon enough
I use OTT spacers as door stops, best thing for them

You need to throw that thing as far away as possible. The Frankenlift II for the CRD is the final word in CRD lifts and the fine folks over at All J Products are responsible for this fine community... their stuff is less self-destructy than other offerings as well.

Thank you for the welcome, I just got my response from the owner of rro. He responded by saying: We always find it funny when our paths cross with JBA arms since we get bunches of emails from owners of those kits who complain about contact issues as well. We've actually compared the kits side by side and they are identical in length and position. Do this with your friend's Jeep... you'll see it is the case. We get requests all the time form JBA owners looking for solutions to problems. And MOPAR had their own engineers compare the control arms when they were researching for their project and show vehicles. Their engineers determined ours were superior. The MOPAR engineers didn't even consider it close... And continues saying once my lift settles (the lift I put on almost two years ago :?:) there will be no contact issue. Funny because the other jeep in question got lifted last week haha. Looks like this will be a drawn out process...

Funny thing is RRO directly copied the JBA's,but used lesser quaility materials (thinner tubes,poly bushings).I can tell you from see both the JBA's are far better built with better parts.

Oh and there has never been a MOPAR show Jeep Liberty(KK or KJ) that has ever had either the JBA's or RRO's arms installed,they build there own stuff in-house for the Liberty's.

That's what had been stated , "literally thousands"
All you have to do is go to most any 4 wheel drive forum and type in RRO complaints and you'll have more than enough to read for days. They have ripped off so many things from others, bad mouthed other companies, took credit for building peoples rigs when all they did was get a picture off of a website. I would say 95% of their business is from new people to the market and have no idea, then they buy something and the fun begins

This oughta liven things up a little. The reply from rro:
There is more that goes into a control arm than the position of it from the spring, the length. The bushing system we use is superior, as well as the ball joints. The position of the ball joint is an issue as well which can help or harm alignment and relieve tension on the ball joint, or add tension. And we've replaced a number of the JBA arms whose welds have broken and the manufacturer didn't stand behind them. So their customers came to us for help. I didn't indicate the quality was the same, just the location of the ball joint from the springs. Hope that makes sense. I'm trying not to be rude about anything. We've just examined everything in the marketplace for the Liberty inside and out since we really are known around the world as THE source for them, although a couple other shops in the USA definitely have a cheering squad on some chat forums.The length of the arms really is the same though, which means the clearance form the arm to the spring. If you have a buddy with the JBA arms, take a measurement. The length will be the same.

Not sure how to get through to this guy his product sucks :banghead:
