The paramount suspension upgrade for your XJ is a long arm system. Iron Rock Off Road's ROCK-LINK 3 link long arm system offers unrivaled performance, giving your Jeep both the capability and ride quality improvements that you have been looking for. This ROCK-LINK long arm upgrade is built for strength, clearance, adjustability, flexibility, and ease of install.

Minimum lift height required- 3"  

  • STRENGTH: Our subframe is constructed with 1/4" steel and our lower arms are even thicker at 2"x5/16" wall D.O.M. tubing.
  • CLEARANCE: We tuck our subframe up as tight as possible to gain you the critical extra clearance to keep your Jeep low and your belly high! The lower arm connections at the chassis are as high as possible with still being able to install a bolt through them. The control arms have an inboard bend to clear your tires, so you can steer lock to lock without rubbing on them
  • ADJUSTABILITY: All the arms have tons of adjustment built in for your stock situation to your stretched crawler.
  • FLEXIBILITY:Yes, of course we are talking about articulation, and the ROCK-LINK delivers plenty! But we are also talking about flexibility to install other axle combinations with ease. Use this kit with your stock Dana 30 for now, and then bolt in a Dana 44 or Dana 60 down the road!

EASE OF INSTALL: No welding, no complicated setup or templates. All you need is a drill, a floor jack, some jack stands and some hand tools. This is a BOLT-IN kit, although if your preferred method of installation is welding, you can do that! (NOTE: most installers opt to cut off the factory lower control arm mounts on the chassis)


    KEY PRODUCT FEATURES:
  • 2", 5/16" thick wall D.O.M. lower control arm material
  • 1/4" thick, 3 piece, subframe assembly
  • Huge tire clearance with inboard control arm bends
  • Best ground clearance available with super high clearance long arm subframe mounts
  • Makes axle swaps much simpler!
  • Maintains caster through the suspension cycle
  • Easy to install without welding, only simple drilling is required!!! Seriously, you can install this in your driveway in a few hours! 

IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: XJ's with the 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed transmission require adapter 14418. XJ's/MJ's with the Peugeot transmission require the Peugeot transmission adapter 133972000 and 2001 models with automatic transmissions will require old style transmission mount such as 2625.  The JK Dana 44 rear axle truss will NOT work on the XJ Dana 44 axle. XJ Dana 44 owners would be best to start with our Dana 35 axle truss and do some cutting and grinding to make it fit.

I installed this kit in my XJ this weekend. It was actually fairly simple, and the included instructions were very clear and thorough. I had a transfer case drop previously, so I installed the included transfer case drop brackets, which I think made the carriage bolts a lot easier to get to when installing the cross-member. I suspect with the drop brackets it would have been a lot more difficult. The difference in how it drives is night and day in my XJ with 6" of lift.

First time buyer

First off the 3 link flexes and controls road manners beautifully. The finish is also very nice, but... Bump stopping for a 31 inch tire allowed enough up travel for the upper arm to contact the front driveline yoke until caster was set to 8.5 degrees! I am now struggling with driveshaft vibs as i do not want to lift higher or run bigger tires at the moment. Another reviewer mentioned the Allen key being hard to get to is correct on that as well. If the upper arm had less bend it would still clean the floor but also the front yoke at full bump. I was in contact with them and their only advise was to adjust the pinion down...

Been running this kit for about 7 months now. I love. It. It drives nice on the road and it flexes great. There are two issues that I do not like though. One Being you cannot tighten the upper driver side control arm collar over the flex joint with a ratchet. You have to use a small Allen wrench but you can't get it that tight. And two. The upper control on on the driver side hits the driveline when stuffing the driver side front tire up. It broke off my geeeze zerk on my front driveline and it's also putting a nice little rub spot in the metal on the control arm. I have pictures just not sure if I can post them on here.

Solid build quality and great customer service. As a hobbyist mechanic, the install was challenging for me. The instructions will give you an idea if you need a professional install. I've wheeled it a few times now on black diamonds and it articulates easily, taking a lot of stress off of my XJ's chassis. Road manners are good, too. Buy with confidence.
