i put longer ones on at 3 inches of lift, it definitely helped out and made the ride a bit smoother

3" is got to be the max; I could center my axle with a RC 3" kit but I had them adjusted all the way forward... Go long arm and you'll love the difference in ride quality. IF you can't afford that get drop brackets, its all about that angle really.
