I'm thinking about going with a 5.5"/6.5" long arm kit with 33"/34"ers x12.50's. So if anyone has pics with that kind of set up. That will help to.

that all depends on whether it's just a front, or a rear coil conversion kit. then how much it's gonna cost to install it.
some are weld in, while others are a bolt in. (rusty's) has a great design for a good price. and his arms are beeeefy. good for a do it yourself type application.
in my opinion, the clayton kit is the best design. it is a weld in setup, and has a great removable center crossmember section. this is what i have. installation only took a few hours, and that was messing with the upper arm on the one side.
i can take pics of mine this weekend if you want.

rustys- seen too many of his parts fail to ever consider his longarms
teraflex-garbage in everyones opinion
skyjacker- doesnt make a longarm
iron rock offroad- garbage imo, many reasons
fulltraction 4 link- spendy but a good setup
rock krawler 3 link- most inexpensive system i would consider running
tnt/treks- comes with a nice belly skid and high clearance arms, probably the nicest setup out there
clayton- nice and as strong as it gets, but low clearance
rubicon express- spendy, but a solid system

I have a Rusty's 8 inch long arm up front and I'm doing a 505 Performance 4 link coil conversion in the rear of mine after the 1st of the year... Check those guys out. I think they make a full kit for the XJ.

if someone can present me a reason why IROs design makes any sense in comparison to TNT, im all ears.
it goes out of its way to kill your clearance essentially. and last i heard was basically non adjustable.
