Default Long Arm Kit

I have a 2010 Rubicon Unlimited with a 3 inch lift and 35' tires. I was told that a long arm kit would make the ride smoother, like it was previous to the lift. I do not do off roading. Is this true of the long arm lift? What is the typical cost?

Thanks!

It COULD make it ride smoother but that's not what it's designed for; it is an off-road performer. If you don't off-road then don't waste your $. You can get a smoother ride by upgrading shocks etc.

My Jeep drives better since the lift. What don't you like about your ride?

I like the ride and love my jeep! People that I have driven in it remark about how much smoother it was prior to the lift so I was just curious.

FWIW, my Long Arm DOES make my ride a lot better than my short arm lift did especially on the highway. That being said, I agree with the previous poster, don't waste your money if you're not going to wheel it.

Completely agree, its a very noticeable difference!

to the OP depending on what lift you currently have you can buy an upgrade kit for $1895.00.

it uses your existing trackbars, coils, shocks, bumpstop and brakelines.
