Long arms or CAD. If harsh ride is not an issue adjustable control arms. but a 4.5" lift should come with those.

For 4.5", short arms are still ok. Long arms are best of course but more $.

I have the x-flex adjustables and I'm happy.

Ironman is also a good place to look. He's a vendor here and there's alot of happy members here w/his stuff. I was going to get his arms, but found a better deal on the x-flex at the time.

Ok all I know is that the rustys lift come standard with fixed lower control arms and then they have the upgrade flex arms for almost $80 which I thought was a good deal but I haven't done much shoping around. Thanks for all the help in such short time.
