you don't hear much about it anymore because it doesn't work. way back when the JK first came out, there were some companies who went so far as to offer drop kits which is actually a better solution than trimming but, time showed that people STILL tore their boots and started peeling at the lip of the tranny pan. regarding short arms, this problem would be amplified as your axle would have a greater swipe when flexing than would a long arm.
