          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.

          • 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 cutting, 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, but it's not required)

          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!

          Detailed Installation Instructions

          IMPORTANT FITMENT NOTE: XJ's with the 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed transmission require adapter 14418.  2000 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.

          NOTE: Use of a shacle relocation bracket will void the warranty of the leaf pack.
          Recommended tire size: 32"x11.50" – or metric equivalent

          I ran the old critical path 3 link for 300,000 hard on road and off-road miles in maine and only ever had to replace an upper track at bushing at 200,000 miles into it. sold the kit when I scrapped the Jeep and it’s still going strong on a friends daily. my new xj, I’m 50,000 miles in on the new and improved rock link setup and it’s even better. rides like a dream, flex’s as good or better than any other kit, and as usual, very robust and reliable. only issue is the kit had 1 wrong bolt. But luckily I had one, a little too long, so I just stacked a few welded together washers on it.

          So i purchased this kit because i bought a xj that needed a lot of work and wanted to make my project into a offroad only vehicle for when we go camping. As i have been installing the kit the quality of the parts has been great the only problem is this kit requires you to reuse a lot of the original parts on the jeep. This wouldnt be a problem if my jeep wasnt 25 years old with a lot of rust and needs mostly new parts. So as i am installing this i have had to scramble to scrapyarfs and shops trying to find all mew hardware. Even the lifts half the price of this one come with all new hardware and dont require you to reuse. So if your jeep is in good shape and no rust then this is the kit for you. They should warn you your gonna have to but a lot more before you buy this 3000 dollar kit.
