Question ???Supposed TF Long Arm???

Okay... So as some of you know, I was in a wreck with a drunk driver and lost my JK about a year ago... So here pretty soon when I get my money (finally) I am wanting to buy a Black 4 door Rubicon. That being said, I have found a new 08 for a good deal but also wanted to consider other options if the price was right. I found this Rubi on Ebay with 4k miles on it. (Item number: 400028479426). It says in the description that it has a TF LONG ARM kit on it... It doesn't look like it to me??? So I called Watts Automotive and talked to Chris and he ASSURED me that "this was definitely a Long Arm" and that they "don't cut any corners and only go with the BEST" and that they wouldn't have put anything other than a Lng Arm kit n this Jeep. Now you look at this and tell me if you think this is a TF Long Arm kit on this JK....

Those are short arms. Got any closer pics? Nice just found the auction and it's a local dealership.

Definitely NOT a long arm. Long arm relocates the lower control arms, these are the factory locations.

I called them and burst their bubble nicely.
Them: "How do you know it's not a TeraFlex Long Arm kit?"
Me: :I work for TeraFlex and I have a 4" Long Arm kit on my JK."
