Are the rc long arm kits worth the money? Been looking at doing the swap on mine but dont wanna spend an arm and leg to do it.

 

I've read about too many people having trouble with their flex joints to be comfortable spending that much money on something I was going to have to constantly rebuild. A lot of guys on here have had to replace them within a few thousand miles. RC won't cover them either, they'll blame you for not constantly adjusting the flex joint every time you wheel.

In that price range I'd look at Serious Offroad's long-arm setup. There are others I would recommend first, but not in that price range.

 

I've had rough country's long arm kit for over a year now ive been Wheeling everywhere with it and I've had no problems with anything on it. but then again I do a little thing called basic maintenance, meaning if it had a zerk fitting on it, I grease it, if something is broken I fix it. I'll tell you they're worth the price, what do I know I actually own and spent money on them.

 

What others do you recommend then

 

Nah you dont know nuttin lol Good to hear from someone who actually runs these. I may get them. I just cant decide if I want to add onto my 3" kit or go get the RE 5.5" kit

 

id say for the time being add to the 3 inch, get the long arms, then buy the 5.5" coils and leafs.. its what i plan on doing..

what part of Wilmington are you located? Im right on campus. be nice to meet up with a fellow member!

 

I live over off harris rd. in the murryville area

 

most joints of that style require adjustment after wheeling. even high dollar EMF's.

 

Get the Serious Offroad kit, Then later on Add new coils, 1" Shackle, and Shackle Relocators that should net 2" in the rear a flat spring flexes and rides better then a heavily arched spring

 

My current aal sucks donkey ***** its way to friggin stiff.
