I'm sure Piginajeep will speak up, He just bought a FT LA for his and put 3" springs and shocks from his old JK underneath it. Look in the Show and tell section.

Yes, Yes, and No - at least if you want the easiest route.

I kinda wish I had gone the LA route, but it should be no problem to upgrade for you. You could go with someone else, but if you're happy with your SA, why would you?

Fulltraction now has the long arm upgrade. Contact Northride4x4 for pricing.

I upgraded my 3" short arm to the long arm. I'm very happy with the results, the rides awesome, I still cant get over how nice it is!


Its a complete bolt on kit, I'm not a mechanic and I installed it myself.

If you are even considering going to long arms then just do it. If you don't you will wish you had. Plus once you drive a long arm equipped Jeep you will know you made the right choice!
