Default Advice please

I know this has been on this forum but I have some specific concerns if anyone can help. I have a 5.5 inch mid arm x factor lift on 3.5 inch springs with 3 link in the back ordered for my 2012 jku rubicon. It has not went out
yet so I can change order if I want. Should I change it to the long arm system. I'm concerned because I had a
2002 rubicon tj that had the long arms and I loved it. This will be a dd of about 20 miles a day with less than
10000 miles a year. I will be putting 37s and I like to do the more harder trails. But I don't want to cut factory
mounts off frame if I'm not going to gain an advantage.

Thanks
Jeff

the TJ is no JK and if you're really just gonna run 37's with 3.5" coils, you should be just fine with the kit you have on order.
