Default Long arm kits

I have been looking at the rock krawler long arm kit and I like the idea of the front arms bolting directly to the replacement transmission crossmember. I have seen a few long arm unlimiteds get hung up on rocks from the front and rear lower control arm brackets. Is there any other manufactures that make a long arm that tucks up high into the frame?

Does anyone have any good pictures of rock krawlers transmission crossmember for the long arm kit? Or any info on other companies that make a similar crossmember for the control arms.

clayton makes a cross member that the links mount into and look at synergy and genright. Or you could just build your own, its really not that hard if you can weld and have some knowledge of how a suspension works. If looking at a kit that bolts the links to the cross member I would make sure to beef up the weak factory mounts. I have my front lower arms mounted to a poison spyder cross member.
