Default Help me decide on a suspension upgrade

I'm torn between the Serious long arm kit and the B. Lee 3 link. I'm at 4.5" now and I'm selling my other truck so I have a little money. I was thinking about getting some control arm drop brackets but I think I might as well do it right. I have my 35's on the garage floor ready to mount up and I want a suspension that does them justice. I may start doing some real offroading since my Jeep is coming along. It would be mostly on the rocks.

That's a good idea! We could switch if I don't like mine, right? :P I put this here by accident. I meant for it to be in Modified Tech.

I'll probably be ordering your upgrade kit soon. Like next week soon. I think it will work well with what I have already. Do I need anything to keep my swaybars?

Just a set of QuickDisconnects for the front and you can toss the rear swaybar in the scrap heep.

I flip through that site all the time. I have quick discos and no rear swaybar. I think I'm ready to go.
