a normal/stock xj sits on four control arms. they are considered ''short'' arms. A short arm lift is going to either have new short arms or your going to have to use your stock ones. you will want new short arms as the stock arms are just not strong enough for a weekend wheeler.

a long arm lift kit or upgrade, is going to replace those old short arms with new longer arms that instead of connecting to the frame in four different spots up front, it will connect to the frame in two spots where the trans crossmember is. this allows for better flex/more articulation. the long arms will still connect to the axle in the same spots as the old short arms.

Would 33's look ok on a 6.5" lift? Or should I go with 35's?
