Default Understanding Long Arm Suspensions

Fellas,
I am trying to understand the pros and cons of the long arm suspension. I did a search of the 101 threads and came up with this:

https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/show...light=long+arm

It has good pictures towards the bottom and on page two that do a good job of briefly explaining the WHAT it is, but it doesn't really dumb it down to the level (think crayon) for me to really understand the pros and cons of short arm vs. long arm.

Would anyone care to take the time and educate a poor soul or point me to a thread that already discusses this?
