X2 Questions I asked and actually talked myself out of going long arm. But my opinion is the Full Traction Long Arm. You have mentioned 2 different styles of long arms. Have to figure out which is best for you. Clayton would be my choice if I wanted a radius arm. I asked the questions about Radius arm and 4 link.

I've been running Full-Traction's 4" Long Arm since February and have no regrets. I love the ride it provides on and off road. FT customer support is great too! 
Give Chris a call for more info.

Question. Are you seeking additional articulation as measured by RTI scores? Based on my admittedly limited research, the JKU's with long arm kits do not respond with major gains in RTI scores. Unlike the TJs that really needed long arms, the JKUs do not seem to benefit a great deal from long arm kits, at least on the ramp. But I could be wrong. Again, limited data from the few sources I could get RTi data from. You should see improvement, just know what to expect. If that is even your goal, which it may not be.
