    Do the WJ kits only run one upper too? I'm still not really grasping why they use the system that they do for adjustment on the uppers either.

    i really like the caster adjustment bracket on the uppers.... especially since with my HP30 i have no adjustment for it on the lower portion.... and its extremely easy to adjust to where you want it

    I get the easy part, but strength would be my biggest concern.

    I'm not worried about the bracket. I'm worried about the bolts that hold everything in place being able to apply enough force to keep things from moving around.

    once you get the front dialed in, tack the bolts in place so they dont back off.

    wow I just realized they arent adjustable. WTF? How are you going to locate you axle? Hope you never plan on bigger tires. I pushed my axle forward about 2.5" with my claytons. Not bashing the kit, I just don't see why they aren't available as adjustable ONLY. I know they make both, I just dont get why they make a non adjusable at all.

    It is an interesting bracket, Firestone actually gave me a full refund for my lifetime alignment I got the year before. I did have it in there 3 times because of different lift heights but their excuse is that they were moving away from modified vehicles.

    So I took it to a smaller shop and they banged it into alignment.

    But that crossmember looks good. Cant wait to see it on your jeep.

    I think you can adjust it to different locations on the crossmember, at least that's what I gather from other posts.

    Not sure on the ZJ ones being adjustable on the frame but the WJ is not adjustable. You have to figure most people buying their kits are looking for a easy more mild kit with ease of install and wallet being the major factors. Its not a huge jump to the the adjustable ends on the frame side, round $100 extra I believe. Dont quote me on that though.

    They will make you a custom length if you want, taht is what I did since Im going to 35's and most likely not much bigger.

    I like it! I've never had any problems with IRO. Most everything I've purchased for my two ZJ's have been from IRO and Kevin.

    My IRO front trac bar had the upper tie rod seize up inside the sleeve, Teraflex stripped it out getting it apart and had to buy one of theirs.

    Yes the WJ also runs one upper. I have just never been sold on one upper (atleast for a DD). I must be getting old. They have fabbed some adjustable WJ arms Not with the backet deals at the top from what I remember. .

    If you wanted to lengthen the lowers you could always cut and sleeve it and weld it up again.
