Did you even consider Ironman 4x4 fab? He has a nice long arm set up from the pictures I have been seeing. And he is a sponsor.

He just offers the arms though. Last time I looked I didn't see a crossmember. Is he now offering one?

Whatever kit you buy, be sure you take into account servicing the transmission, etc. We had to drop the complete TNT crossmember to get the trans pan off.

Clayton's is a 3 piece crossmember which makes servicing the drivetrain nice. I can't remember about the RC kit.

Yes he has one. When I talked to him last week he was telling me that there are more differences in crossmembers then he thought and that his crossmember had mounted on 3 of the 4 different configureations and that he had one out to the 4th one and would know soon. x2 on the drop the crossmember thing.

Just ordered iron man 4x4 fab adjustable upper and lowers and an adjustable track bar they should be here for the weekend ill let you know how they are. I have seen the control arms in person and that sold me! They were insanely beefy and I was very impressed with the price and quality.

Yep, Andy built my long arms a long time ago. He does great work and is reasonable. I hope to see his business around for a long time. He is constantly trying new stuff and has people test it out before he lists it on his site for full price.

Only problem is he offers just the arms. If you are willing or wanting to build your own crossmember, it's a good option.

Yea or Clayton cross member. I just talked to him, he is not really pushing the cross members till he can get it all worked out and the parts laser cut. It takes a lot of time to plasma cut it all out. Soon though I hope to see them available.

Love my Claytons...

I saw Ironman4x4's arms when i was at Lennies last week.
beefy.. but in my case, if i basterize the lift then i ll end up spending more money on it.
for under $1500 the RC kit doesnt look that bad. and if it fails. they ll replace what ever failed for free.
Claytons are nice.. but thats a lot of money..

...you not see my 25% off Clayton's coupon in the for sale section?
(that would make the Clayton's kit a fuzz more than the Rough Country )
