Default Looking for a Long arm upgrade for decent price.

I have a 1999 xj and am looking for an upgrade to a long arm from my short arm. I know RC sells a kit for 600.00 brand new but as a college student I cant afford it. If anybody has anything let me know.

THanks

you won't get a long arm setup for less than 600. even that is on the cheap side.

you'll have to build it to get it for any less.

you can hardly build it yourself for that unless you got scraps to do it and/or free... darn joints almost add up to that alone...

you must have not shopped around lately at joints. You can build yourself a 3 link setup with cross member for $400 in materials. That's the route I would go but you have to know how to weld.
