Sometime around 10am this morning, I saw a lifted black XJ (maybe 3" w/33s?) driving Southbound on I-95. Was that any of you?

long arm would still ride better on road (or so im told). as your lower control arm angle increases, the harsher the ride.

Well its all preference.

But for price and the use, yes short arm would be better.

right... less gunk = less resistance = less psi. not always good to have a high psi. as long as you arent running in the single digits at idle, i would say you are good.

It seems to me that the general opinion is better ride on the road, not counting the better flex and what not.
From my own personal experience, the long arms ride better than stock and 3" with short arms. Seems like my other XJ is more like a two horse wagon at times on rough roads. But overall it is a jeep and ain't ever gonna be like a caddy

short arms a little cheaper and its gonna be a rough ride no matter what. ill just go to a short arm as planned. thanks for the input guys.
