I'll be making the coils locally as I do now for my other Jeep kits, in 4", 5" and 6" and also supplying shocks on a case by case scenario (depending on what $$$ and quality the customer wants).
I'll keep you all posted on my progress. The kit is either being fitted to a 2001 WG v8 Laredo or a 2002 V8 H.O Overland, not sure yet

Im dying to get my hands on this kit and trial it off road, she's going to be bananas. The flex that these WG's achieve with a long arm is nothing short of outstanding.

I will be very keen to see how what package and price you come up with. Currently seriously considering the IRO LA kit, but I know the Claytons is a superior product (but also costs a lot more).

Claytons is a weld on kit, Ironrock is bolt-on kit.
Since your their distributer, you should speak to josh at Ironrock about being their Oz distributer, I was asked last year to do it but have too much on as is.

Would be good to go for a wheel together an see how they both compare to each other as I see that your not to far away. I drive an 04 overland H.O. What size tyres will you go for?
Mark..

Hi there MRGC - we run into each other in the funniest places hey ?

Im very brand loyal when it comes to selling someone elses' product. I think it would be a major business conflict of interest to sell a few different peoples (same) product. Clayton & I are working on a business plan that will make the kits not only affordable, but partially locally made with my King Springs and custom rates to suit our conditions / needs ect.
I most likely will bring in TJ and JK LA kits when it becomes available. I really like the Clayton product so far and the Yanks love em too. There are a few budget kits on the market that break arms and mounts too so be aware of that!

Couple of Questions:

Where the hell are the update pics?
with the IRO front long arm kit how is the castor adjusted?
Isn't the IRO long arm on the front left meant for drivers side in US? if so, does that mean it's around the wrong way for our RHD vehicles?
When trimming, wouldn't you extend the CA length and trim the plastic bumpers to fit 33" and up tyres rather than trimming the body side?
It's late, why am I so tired? (coz I read all this post der...) Can't remeber what else I was gonna ask, it'll come to me tomorrow.

Hey fellas, no-one answered any of my questions so I'm gonna give it another shot.. ^^

Castor adjusted on the iron Y top link, which stays on the left on Aussie vehicles, and yes, trimming needed on bumpers only.
