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.

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.

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.
