Yes I am,
I had Rusty's before the RE's I have now and the RE's just feel Cheep.. and the Rusty's seemed to have a better ride to them.

I think Rusty's has a long arm kit that is around 270. http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=ARMS

FYI that's not the kit just the lower arms of their Long Arm setup..The kit itself is just shy of $800. I may consider it..I think an LA kits will be cheaper then drop brackets, new adjustable UCA's and LCA's..I personally have no fears of running Rusty's stuff but will have to price and LA upgrade kit since all I would need are the arms and such none of the other suspension parts and really don't want to go much higher on the list.

here is the kit for the whole setup...

Or you can save another $350 and take your chances with rusty's. i haven't read much on his long arm setup but seems pretty similar to most radius arm setups. I just don't have a good feeling about the threaded arms with no jam nuts.

Yeah may just get some lower brackets and arms...Adjustables would be nice to be able to tweak caster..but then again fixed UCA's and my fixed LCA's may work just fone..Although on the drop bracket I will use the Rocky Road ones. I like the setups better..

Plus you can get brackets and UCA/LCA for around $500 from them...their arms look nice and beefy..
