Frank, I do not need 4" of lift, I am at 2 now with 3 to be eventually, 32's (265-75-16') probably my max tire. I want some long arms, but everyone that builds em wants me to have more lift than I need. and yes as of now I have no lift with 30's due to trimming, and will be putting my 2" on this weekend.

Minimum lift height for my kit is 4". Anything les and the arms are too long and cause the axle to be pushed forward.

Pushing the axle forward is good... but if your buying long arms, you probably don't have the skills/time/money to do the fab work to do it properly.

Just a comment here.

For 4-10" lift you want long arms.

For 4"-3" lift mid arms.

For 2-3" lift adjustable short arms.

Maybe Frank can work with you on designing something. I know that he does great work that wont let you down

Oh, I could make it work, just don't have time. I run my own shop, and at the end of the day, the LAST thing I wanna do is work on mine. You know the plumbers sink leaks, the roofer roof leaks, and the shoe makers kids are bare foot

Hey frank is powder coating free? I would like Tan. What is the turn around time from order to on my Jeep? Do you do installs? If so how much? How much travel do you need out of the shocks. Sorry just trying to price it all out.

I don't powdercoat. It's gonna get scraped off and it adds to the cost. rattle-can only.

7-10 Days is typical.

Yes, but I'm about 30 days out on having the time and the space available, $200.

To many variables to safely answer that question. The best way to determine the correct length is by flexing the suspension and measuring the the distance between the shock mounts.

yes it's an extra step, but the results are worth it. Nothing worse than spending good money on shocks only to pull them apart because the are too short, or use them as bump stops because they won't compress enough.
