Ah ok. I thought it was like a live chat session. Thanks for setting this up. I got a resposne form Rancho about a recent inquiry i made on their long arm suspension:
"As for our long arm kit, it will be available and on the shelf this month.
We have some information and performance photos on our site so be sure to check them out. Mel at Offroad Evolution is somewhat familiar with our long arm kit and should be able to give you some feedback regarding the kit. He should also have one for you to take a look at. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions."
Not sure if that means that Mel has one of their kits installed or not?

As far as Mel goes, they installed a Rancho kit and has another that will be getting installed soon.

Anyone install the Rancho Long Arm kit yet? I read the recent JP article on JK lifts and there were quite a few lift kits missing from the test. Its really hard to tell from Rancho's pictures what you are actually getting in the kit and how its constructed vis a vis the Radius Arm joint type/quality. I could do with some high resolution pictures and detailed descriptions Rancho instead of the low res Flash stuff. Also wondering if this kit is made in China? I'm on a strictly no Chinese garbage diet and will only buy parts made here in America for my JK.
Going back to the JP article, I like how they broke down how each lift performed in each category of driving like rock crawling etc. I'm looking for a kit that will handle great on high speed dirt roads with large whoops, washout ruts and chuckholes plus steep hills full of washboards. I could care less about how it performs at low speed rock crawling. Any thoughts on waiting for a coilover lift?

There is a bunch of hi res pic's on this site.. Type "Rancho Long Arm" in the search.. Or google it.. I have been hearing good reports on the long arm.. and I too drive the way you do and am also considering one.. Chris at Offroad is priceing out a package for me.. The vendors say the components come in Black.. But all the pictures of them are RED.. THAT IS WHAT I WANT....!!!

Unfortunately, we were unable to participate in the suspension shootout due to their guidelines. For the test, they wanted only short arm kits that are bolt-on (or close to it) but clearly told us no long arm kits. We hope someone does a shootout with long arm kits in the future and we will participate.
Our kit is manufactured here at our facility in Long Beach. We do not have any manufacturing overseas or outsourced. We thrive on high quality and do not compromise for suspension.
If you would like more info, feel free to PM us and we will try to get to them as soon as possible.

We have recently released our kit in red as well. Please have your retailer order RS6509 for red and RS6509B for black. Our sport kit is also available in red, RS6507.
PM us if you need any assistance or any questions.
