As christmas gets closer i was thinking about getting a long arm. Right now i have a budget boost and it is not the greatest. I am running 35'' Mtr/k's. I would like some long arm suggestions. Money is not a factor. I know a 4 inch would be a little too much. Thanks in advance.

 

The most common long arm kits that have me scratching my head are the Rock Krawler, the full traction, Clayton, and teraflex.

All have their advantages, i personally am leaning towards the TF arms and brackets with a crc link in the rear. Or just Clayton short arms, and a crc link. That would be under 2k, versus about 4k with the TF long arms

 

If money truely is not an issue, then the EVO Double Throw Down is probably the best.

 

but that would give me a little too much lift for 35's. dont you think?

 

You, could do the EVO long arm w/ 4" plush ride springs. My next choice would be a Full Traction long arm. You could run that with 3 or 4" springs.

 

With the plush ride springs and heavy bumpers.... it would be perfect.

 

I went with the TF Elite LCG 3" Long Arm. It has a great ride and lots of travel. I'm running close to 35" tires and they almost look to small. Glad I did not do the 4". I still have plenty of room for 37s when I decide to upgrade.

 

the factory JK arms are A LOT longer than the old TJ's and you really don't need long arms for just 3" of lift and 35" tires. in fact, i wouldn't even bother going up to 4" as that's a lot of lift for such a small tire. if you're planning to go to 37's or bigger, more lift and a long arm kit would help your on pavement ride and handling but aside from that, you might want to save your money and maybe just get a good, complete short arm kit.

 

pbloom95 - I was in the same situation as you. I just put on a Rock Krawler 2.5" Max PRO system. I'm very impressed with it.
