I did the Iron Rock 2” and love it. Pictured with 285-70-17s. Just remember to loosen track bars and sway bar links on install and retighten to factory specs when all four wheels back on the ground.
Like the "JT" sticker... where did you get it?

Think you guys have talked me into the IRO 2” spacer lift. I’m going to keep the OEM shocks for now and my use part of my current TerraFlex in the front to level it out.

Just ordered my teraflex 1.5 spacer and daystar 3/4 inch rear spacer. I plan on ordering some mopar lift lower control arms in the near future while I wait for this ice and snow to stop hitting us in the north east.

Ok for you guys running the IRO 2” spacer lifts I have a question. What are you doing for bump stops front and rear? Also, anyone stack the TeraFlex with the IRO kit? Thinking maybe just using the 1/2” spacer to correct the rake a little, not completely. There is only a hundred kits and none of them tell you the same thing when it comes to what all you need. Thanks in advance.

couldn't hurt, if nothing else to recenter the front..though it wont be off that much.

I cant remember If if said it here or not but grab a set of REAR sway bar ends and put them on the front to correct the front sway bar angle after your lift. Makes the truck feel like stock with the new ride height.

I run an IRO spacer kit. It uses the factory bump stops as I’ve never heard of stacking spacers. I would be more concerned with shock travel because you use the original shocks. If you put heavy things in your truck or tow it won’t squat but sit almost level, rather then looking like a dog scooting his butt on the carpet. Your call. You could call IRO and ask if they could send you out a 2.5” spacer and extended shock brackets to correct the front rake. They are awesome!

Good idea with the sway bar links, where did you find a set of stock rears? I couldn't seem to find any.

I reached out to IRO and they do not recommend using the TeraFlex spacer with their kit. Funny thing is when I asked them about using the TeraFlex bump stops they had no idea if they would work or not. Probably going to hold off as I’m looking into a new job and unfortunately owe Uncle Sam this year somehow. Thanks for the help!

I actually added a 1/4 in spacer to the front, above the IRO spacer. Ill probably remove them for towing but who knows. As it stands now I still have a rake, just not as drastic as stock.

Ive had this setup for more than 15k miles and not a single issue, in case anyone jumps in and screams its a bad idea. Its only 1/4in so it didn't change my shock travel all that much after installing the IRO extension brackets.

If bump stops are a concern you can add hockey pucks to the base of the spring and they will act as a shock extender for little cost and almost no work to install. a hockey puck or two on each side and some basic lowes hardware.
