yeyea. I really want the longarm kit. But the short arm kit is a good deal

 

if you aren't rock crawling.. you dont need the L.A. kit. i would just do the short arm with the drop brackets.

 

i have a 6.5" lift with the rc upper and lower short arms with no drop brackets and it works great and plenty of flex i have no complaints whats so ever

 

really?????? how does it handle on the highway?

 

rides great i dont like to fly down the highway with 4:56 gears but ill roll at 65-70 with no problems

 

I'm gonna go some rock crawling.

 

If I can get away with out running drop brackets and still have good flex. Ill probably do it. I'm gonna do some rock crawling. Btw nice jeep. What size tires are those

 

i really dont see a need for those drop brackets honestly , im running 33" swampers on a 6.5" lift

 

Long arm is definitly the way to go. The best flex and the best ride. Pricey but worth it.

 

Yeah I am going to be ordering the new 6/5" LA kit in the next week. Considering it comes with everything you need except SYE, drive shaft and bump stops you cant beat it for the price. I was going to go 6.5" non long arm and get drop brackets but I figured the non long arm kit is 900.00 + 190.00 for the drop brackets is 1090.00. For another 160 bucks I can get the LA kit so why not just do that.

 

The more I look at it the more I want the LA. Yes its pricey but not much more then the short arm if u buy the drop brackets

 

yea if you do your math that sounds right. But with those 160 bucks i could take that and put it twoards a nice bumper. i figure if i can a decent ride and flex with short arms a drop brackets like i would with long arms ill do it. besides i hear lots of guys running that setup with no problems.

 

Yeah I see where you are coming from. I wasn't saying don't buy the short arm kit with drop brackets since I have also heard from people that this combo works out good. I was just describing my thought process when I decided on going with the long arms. I have no personal experience with either setup. One thing about buying the new long arm kit as well is there are a few small bugs associated with it like many brand new kits.

 

Well I think I'm goin to do the short arm lift with drop brackets. I can't afford the longarm anytime soon so if I decide i want longarms later on down the road ill just buy a long arm setup.

 

I was going to do the same thing the only problem I had with it was the difference between the two is 160 and the upgrade is 600. But anyway enjoy the lift man! And take some pics during and after I am ordering my 6.5 LA tomorrow
