- Hey guys! Today we install the Iron Rock Rock Link Long arm on my Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee. The install was not hard and can be done in your drive way with a jack and some stands! The part that took the longest was putting the Joints together. I RECOMMEND buying the Iron rock tool to remove the Upper control arm bushing. Took the old one out in seconds and installed the new one just as fast!

I appreciate your videos being in a similar position. Ive had my WJ for about a year now, have basic mechanic knowledge and am just getting into some new parts for it. Your boy Chris deserves more appreciation tho! Seems like a chill dude. Lookin good to go with that lift and long arm set up!
Thanks man! Yea me too I’m learning on this jeep! I’ve never built any car so it’s fun! Yea I’ve know Chris for about 13 years since like 5th grade!
Nice, I just did the same kit on my 04. Note though. The Flex Joints CAN be tightened while the suspension is hanging, the instructions do say to tighten them before weight is put on them. You are correct in that a RUBBER bushing does HAVE to be at ride height before being torqued.
That actually makes sense since it will just rotate😂
hey man i just ordered my kit for my jeep thanks for the install
Hey buddy! James over in Louisiana. Good video, getting ready to change my 4" rough country for the 4" iro long arm
About to order that flex bushing!
It's 100x better I noticed a massive change in ride
Thank you very much for sharing. Very helpful! I love my WJ!
No problem! Thank you for watching!
Oh the pump bolt is perfect
Killin' it bro! Dig it.. Lets get some 35 or 37s on that bad boy!!
I wish 😂 33s for now maybe in the future if I ever swap axles
@@NajarOffroad Gotcha. I got hella lucky on some JK rubicon axles, though they were in rough shape, I had to replace some bits.
Бро, ты еще не попрыгал во время сьемки. Камеру держи статично😂
Let’s see the flex !!!!!💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Looks good man, I’m wondering if you’ll see any issues with the drive shafts at full flex with the lift, considering the axel moved forward slightly. Keep us posted, There’s a few on here considering the same system. Thanks.
Yea I was thinking the same thing! I moved maybe like 1/2 an inch forward so not too much
Flex test coming?
Yup!
Hey buddy I just wanted to say I am a big fan of the channel! And keep up the good work! I also want some advice on how to get my own jeep channel started!! Thanks
Hey brotha! Thanks! Just start it but be consistent on uploading! That’s the key! It’s going to take a while to get a following that’s for sure! Took me years haha
Great job! When are we going to see all of this in action???
Thanks and I don’t know yet I want to button up a couple more things
Great looking set up. Better than others I’ve seen with a two pc front lower and top upper control arm set up. You have the straight 6 right ? I wonder if the front upper and lower is on 4.7 v8 ? I’ll look into it on my own. I do like going with longer springs no pucks for me, I need to weld in coil spring supports I’m in NY and rust sucks. Thanks for the videos helps out .
Thanks man! Yes 6 but works on the v8 to! The arms are great they have a bend in them so the wheels don’t hit them when turning
Hi Jonathan thanks for sharing, I am a little lost on this, what is the improvement with this mod or the reason for adding this? Or what are you trying to fix?. Regards from Venezuela
I’m your biggest fan
I love you!
No i am
😂
I am seriously thinking about installing this kit on my 02 WJ, how is the ride and have you had it off road yet to test the durability of the 3 link yet? Jeep is looking good!!
Rides really good on the street! Has lots of flex to off-road! I wish I had a set for the rear to!
Bad ass bro!
Great video. I be glade wean i can get mine in .are you going to 4link the rear ? Jeep is looking great .
Haha not any time soon I need to buy wheels
@@NajarOffroad I just bought some MT 35s with pro Comp 15x8 rims for $990 mounted and balanced.
Hey Najar,
How much of an improvement was it? Did the WJ have body sway before you installed the long arm?
Thanks
So I’m running no sway bars at the moment so when turning there is sway but it drives straight no issue since I changed out all the arms including the A-Arm that causes sway.
Where did you find the silver extension in the front of the inside of your coil I bin trying to find those for my wj just find for the Zj and the xjs is all so if you have the website would help out a lot thank you cuz my spring extends a lot and I noticed my zj had one ?
Iron Rock sells them I believe they are plastic now.
How is that iro axle bushing holding up?
It’s been good! I actually swapped it into my new axle recently! I was surprised you can reuse them😂
i know this vid is 2 years old...that bracket connected to the frame you cut off is there anyway to repair that? i have a Wj and right where the lca mounts to that bracket connected to the frame (not the axle) it broke off and the lca came straight down. do you know of any way to get that repaired?
I got a question. I know you had a bit of death wobble before. Did this cure it going from short to long? I am aware it could be worm or lose parts as well. I have been reading changing out lowers to either fixed or adjustables and not changing uppers could effect the ride.
Hi i have a question i have a laredo 2wd and i bought the steering and suspension kit from a 4wd for error, can i still use some parts to put on my 2wd from that kit? So i dont have to return it and just sell the 4wd parts is there some parts that be the same 2wd ?
Do they have a 4 link? I will have to up grade like you did. I broke the factory bracket you cut off. To much flex and not enough arm lol
They have a 4 link rear. The reason they do a 3 link front is to get the maximum amount of axle articulation without binding
How much lift do you have on your WJ?
Rustys 4.5
Thanks. I’m running IRO 3 on mine.
Nice how do you like that?
Can i put the long arms on my wj rear wheel drive
Yea it is the same mounts
On the bigger washers on the lower long arms they both go on the outside not 1 on each side
Oh no shit😂 I must have not paid attention to the instructions 😂
@@NajarOffroad easy to do
Yea I need to take off the bolts regardless to add a washer to the bolts outside the mount. I didn’t receive them in the package
@@NajarOffroad good plain while you ad washer put them spacers on the outside
@@NajarOffroad
I did IRO adjustables on the front. Actually my friend installed it. It was all super F'd up. Each arm was a different length and it would dip, bind, and jump all rere. I redid all that but I left the washers the way he had done it (one on each side). Months later I got under it and noticed the bushings looked super crooked. I emailed IRO. They said they don't ship instructions with my kit, but they do if I order the kit you got. So they emailed me the instructions and you're supposed to put all the washers on the outboard side so it moves the control arms inward away from the tire.
2 stacked on 1 end (outboard)
1 on the other end (also outboard)
That WJ stance is on point. I'm doing a Comanche next.
Did you have to get a new longer drive shafts?
I do need a longer front driveshaft
How long did it take before they actually shipped your items?
I ordered Black Friday and I believe it arrived like 2 weeks into December
@@NajarOffroad I originally ordered my 3” Long Arm and OTK steering on the 22nd of Feb. I called them the next day because I realized that I had ordered the wrong shocks. It’s March 3rd and I still haven’t gotten any type of shipping info. I used their text option today to try and get an update but still haven’t heard from them. Wishing I had ordered through one of their venders instead.
Yea I don’t think I got a shipping update but it did show up
@@NajarOffroad that’s not very professional.
How long is the installation
Finished in a day maybe like 6 hours
