I have been happy with my IRO springs. My wife even commented on them after installing. I hope yours serve you well sir. Love this Jeep.

Very happy with the ride. It was exactly the ride I was hoping for. The Zone springs were the same height as the IRO ones when I sat them next to each other. I took before and after measurements and lost 1/4" so no big deal. The ride is way better.




Zone on left and IRO on right:

Nice job on the paint. Good to hear your ride has improved!

Looks good Doug! I'm getting ready to change out my front coils and spacers for the EVO ones.

Thanks. You'll love them.

I like the springs in color match. I just love all the little details like that in a Jeep.

I like the look of the colormatch on the springs!

Need to go test em out on a trail?

Out of curiosity, now that you have been running the ARB breather kit for a while. How is it working? Would you recommend it, now that you've had it?

I'm liking it. I've gone through a fair amount of deep water since doing it and fluid levels are all still the same, so I'm really thinking that it works.

Hey - I lost track - do you still have the overheating going on or did you get that solved?

Still there but not showing itself this time of year. In June, I'm going to bypass the heater core because it is leaking and see if the symptom goes away. If it's still there, I'm putting a radiator in it.

That's awesome [emoji106] I've been toying with the idea of getting one.

I would assume if you have any seals leaking that water still could get in though. But if seals are all good, this thing seems to be doing its job.

I'm pretty anal about stuff like that. So this would just add some piece of mind

Thanks, guys. Color is Rust-Oleum Cobalt Blue Metallic. I used it on my tie rod and drag link and it does hold up well as long as it is clear coated. Without the clear, I found it flaking off really easily. Since using clear coat, no issues.

The springs look great. Did you use a spray can clear as well and what kind of prep is needed?

Thanks. I sanded the coils lightly with 120. Then wiped them off with acetone. Then spray canned 3 coats of base. Then 2 coats of gloss clear. Pretty easy and fast.

Got my new Core4x4 track bar in. This thing is beautiful. Just by contacting them, they built this thing fully custom for me based on my custom axle application. The dual Johnny joints are custom, the length is custom, and the bends are custom. Can't wait to install it. I've had really good luck with this company as far as quality and customer service.
