The Iron Rock Offroad long arm kit for the front showed up and has been installed. We assembled and installed the flex joints for both lower control arms and also the new three piece sub frame assembly. We cleaned up the mounting points on the Jeep's frame and applied undercoating per the instructions. We allowed the undercoating to dry, then mounted the sub frame and drilled the necessary holes to bolt it in place. Then we installed the long arms and the 2" coil spacers front/rear to bring us from 3.5" to 5.5". We also installed the extended stainless brake lines, new coil isolators, new Doetsch Tech 8000 Pre-Runner shocks, and new JKS quicker disconnects for the front sway bar. The front sway bar also got new bushings. Also freshly installed is a set of new 35x12.50 Goodyear Kevlar MT/R tires and a professional alignment has been done.
Also, enjoy some close up shots of the Iron Rock Offroad over the knuckle heavy duty steering kit. I paid the extra $20 to get the upgraded 5/8" grade 8 hardware kit which required us to drill the pitman arm and steering knuckles. The drag link and tie rod are both made from 1.25" solid cold rolled steel and weight about 42 pounds to give you an idea of how beefy they are. The weak hollow tube style steering kit from Rusty's Offroad was badly bent from the Rubicon trip so we opted to replace it with this heavier duty IRO kit. I was very impressed by the overall quality and ease of installation of the IRO kit and the detailed instructions with photos were great. Steering response is immediate, tight, and solid without the banging and knocking noises.
I also go over the IRO bar pin eliminators for the front shocks. These are great, easy to install, and will cure the clunking noises caused by bar pins. Shocks are Doetsch Tech 8000 Prerunners with integrated bump stops. Check out my other videos for more details on those.
