I know that this is a hard question since most folks have not had different lifts on the same jeep. But lets try this anyway.

We are going to rebuild one of the older jeeps in the family.

We have a 2003 TJ. We are going to remove the current lift. It has Ox lockers.

It is going to live in Moab.

We are going to install a long arm suspension with 35 tires.

First, what additional items are needed, for instance steering correction, etc.

So the question....

What long arm suspension would you guys recommend for a jeep that will do mostly 5's and 6's in Moab?

thanks!!

I have a 05 Rubi that I installed the Rock Krawler 5" long arm (3 linked front and triangulated rear) and it is a well thought out and put together lift kit. I couldn't be happier with the kit.

Here is a pic with tube fenders and 35" tires on the RTI ramp

Thanks Dirtman!

Thanks! When I purchase that kit it was well put together to the extent of even putting the correct washers and nut on the correct bolts, not just a bag of bolts, parts, and half written directions. RK was spot on with directions and everything, customer service is great as well!

The photo really shows great body stability during the flex.

I noticed that the sway bar links are disconnected in the photo. Was there a reason for that?

Our goal is to out fit the jeep to perform in suspension similar to the JK. Have you any experience running with Jks over big obstacles?

To gain more flex and stability off road you will want to disconnect the front sway bars. Most kits come with disconnect kits with their lifts.

I have a build thread now for comp cutting and stretching my 2 door JK on this forum. Here is a pic of it before the cutting, it has a 5" long arm ( radius in the front and 3 linked rear) running 39" Krawlers, 1.25" body lift.......ect

The one thing I did like about the TJ long arm is that the lower control arms are bent for more clearance under the belly, and the belly pan is 3 piece for easy service or removal of trans, or T case
