ive got a 95 cherokee with a 10inch lift with short arms and control arm drop brackets and im about to put a rustys long arm kit on in a few days.the question is this will my ride quality get any better? i think it will but im asking if the 800 bucks i just spent was worth it

 

yea it will get better and you will get better up and down travel.

 

well it should get better you putting more travel and flexibility underneath your jeep if you ever watch trucks the went from a short arm 3 in to a long arm 6 in lift and they explain how much more travel you get

 

going from drop brackets to long arms, you won't notice much difference in ride quality as the lower control arm angle is relatively the same.
but as mentioned, you will be able to flex a little better, you get rid of the drop brackets, and you gain bragging rights to just having long arms.

drop brackets actually flex really nicely and give much better road manners to the short arm design. without drop brackets the ride would've been horrible.

i went from RE5.5 short arm with drop brackets to 8 inch long arms. i didn't notice a whole lot in ride difference, but just knowing i now have long arms is worth it alone.

 

i have a rough country long arm kit and i am very happy with it on and off the road

 

well i cant wait to get the arms on there and find out just how much flex i get.the short arms do flex well but the driver side drop bracket makes a popping noise when im on the trail.plus im fighting a death wobble issue with the track bar.if its not one thing its another.

 

Uhm. 10 inch short arm lift? Wheelbase down to around 80" or so?

 

install the extension brackets you do have adjustable arms right

 

No my wheelbase is greater than 80. My front axle is moved forward about 2 inches and the rear is pushed back about the same. My arms are adjustable and they have like 5 inches of adjustment to them.

 

My wheelbase is set at 104
