Don't let everyone talking about springs bowing and hitting the track bar bother you. MOST of the time it's just an issue of having them set at the proper length...I think the reason I'll stick with RK is because whenever I've had an issue they've always chimed in to help, and that's hard to find! As I continue to wait on OR Fab to call me back about the hardware they didn't send me with my brand new bumper I can't put on.
Edit: Hey Andy, do they make a long arm?

You still haven't heard anything back from them yet?! Damn. Makes it more tolerable I went a different route. My springs bow slightly already, if its a cosmetic issue, I really don't care. The only reason they're up against synergy is because they seem to make good products for good prices. Synergy makes good products for... well, not so good prices haha

If you're asking if RK makes a long arm, yes they do. Don't take this to the bank though but I've seen people get into trouble running long arms on 2drs. You just have to double and triple check your lengths or they can contribute to the springs bowing even worse once that rear axle gets moved back. Again dont take that to the bank, I'd just do some research because I've seen a lot of issues with 2 doors running long arms and the springs hitting the track bar etc etc, but it could be a user error too, not a product error. I've always loved RK...if you can wait until next fall I'll give you all my arms when I go to their long arm and coilovers.

All of that dirty laundry doesn't need to be aired here, again, so in an effort to not completely derail this thread - anyone with an interest can just go over the JKO and read the entire long-ass thread dedicated to the individual in question and populated by the mass of people that he banned...

JK Owners. It's another forum for the JK. They're a branch of pirate 4x4 and most tend to really know way more than the average owner. I guess you can say they're very technical over there

There is no difference between short arm or long arm or two door vs four door when it comes to coil bow. It is the proper set up and alignment of the brackets and coil buckets and is really not prevelant at low lift heights. The main reason for coil bow is the rotation of the axle due to pinion corrections and the lower coil brackets are no longer setting level.
