Default full traction long arm ?

hey everyone... i have been researching the full traction long arm suspension systems. i really like the fact that it is a bolt on system, as i cannot weld too well. my question is what is the difference between the kits for the 4" and 6" components? the reason i question this is when it comes time for inspection in nj i may want to swap in 4" coils to not have to deal with any issues. are there adjustability length differences in the control arms for the different kits? any info would be great. thanks in advance.

the only difference is the coil height and if i recall correctly, the shock lenghts.

Shocks and coils are the only difference. I would guess the control arm lengths are very close to each other. What size tires do you plan on running?

yea i figured the shock lengths would be different also... i have to check with the local laws to see what the max lift i can run is... i would like to run 38's with room to flex... i think the most lift i can run is 9" here in nj... that is total lift height ( suspension, body, and tires) i would be close if the actual tire diameters were true, but most manufacturers are a bit shorter... i think nj also says i can only go so many inches in diameter over stock... the axles would also be upgraded as well... i definitely know the 30 up front will not hold!!! so it all comes down to what the laws are here... thanks for the info!

yeah, you might need the 6" lift to fit 38's.

But I'm guessing a 4" would fit them, just bump stop it.
