Default Long arm upgrade?

Hey there, I have a 2.5 Pro Comp lift on my JK already. I have no issues with it, other then maybe just riding a bit rougher then I would like. It flexes great and im glad I bought it. That being said, would I have a problem upgrading to a Full Traction Long arm kit using my existing springs and shocks? I think the long arms would smooth it out a bit. What do u think

Let me answer this in the morning, but it should work. I think procomp runs a little high

You would need adjustable track bars to go along with the lift, it's nit part of the upgrade kit

Well, I can say if your running your MX6 shocks on the softest setting, You have some stiff springs. I'm running the MX6's closer to the stiffest setting and still have a very soft ride.

While the long arm will defintely make the ride smoother, it wont do anything if your not happy with springs now. You have a couple options to consider. Buy new coils and replace the procomps, see how it rides. Install control arms to adjust your caster and make it drive correctly. If you go this route we sell coils seperate and they are a very soft ride, which also allows them to flex like crazy and give a very soft smooth ride on the road.

If you want a long arm use our upgrade kit, (includes arms and brackets). You would need adjustable trackbars (sold seperately). if you gained 3.5" it wll definetly work. You can also run 37's with some trimming and flat fenders when your ready..


Or you can buy a full long arm kit, or short arm kit. Theres so many ways to fix this problem, I cant really even type them all. If you want to call send me a PM and i'll give you my number.
