Question Long Arms on Unlimiteds?

Colleagues,

What is the general consensus for putting long arm lifts on the Unlimteds?

I know they would provide some advantage over the OEM arms, but is the "bang for the buck" really there?

Any keep the normal list arms and then wish they had gone long on an Unlimited?

I'm a long arm unlimited guy on my JKU. I'm glad I did it but i learned from my TJ about the advantages. It was upgrade number on after I bought my jeep!

You're forgetting about control arms also. your articulation is limited because stock arms don't allow the axle to "twist".
do agree that long arms can be better suited for prerunner type rigs
