Im looking to purchase a long arm kit for my 98 xj!!! What long arm kit do u guys recomend and can u name all companys that make a long arm kit for the xj Im aware of rustys and claytons
Id like to do some research for myself as well as here what u guys have to say

 

T&T Customs in WY i will be getting theres soon

 

IMO For a bolt on kit this is the only way to go. If you dont mind the welding, go with Claytons

Rubicon Express

Iron Rock Offroad

Rock Krawler

Full Traction (I think)

BDS

Tomken

Teraflex

When I was doing some reasearch awhile back I was looking at Rock Krawler and RE.

 

TNT customs
Rubicon Express
Claytons

stay away from rustys garbage

 

it also depends on what type of longarms you want...4 link? Y link? 3 link?

 

My vote is for TNT Customs it's bolt on and works well based on everything I have read.

 

So with this kit I can just upgrade my skyjacker lift? It seem too inexpensive. Is it too good to be true?

 

$850 is inexpensive? lol

but yeah, that kit gives you everything you need for a y-link upgrade.

 

Full traction and BDS are my faves, TNT a very very close third.

 

I like the setup where the upper control arm comes off of the lower arm Im guessing this is the y setup. Which ever setup is more sutable for an 8 in plus lift Welding isnt an issue but ive heard that welding to our loved vehicles isnt the best idea such as welds cracking the unibody rails.

 

TNT Customs is completely bolt on and I know it has a good rep. Me if I go long arm I want bolt on and not something I have to weld.

 

BDS is the only true 4 link set up but im too lazy to google it for the price right now. From what i hear its good stuff but unless youre doing supercore wheelin on 40's or something any radius arm setup mentioned above will do the job. If you wanna find more info on it look up MuddyPaws on Pirate4x4. Its what he used in his build. honestly, way too much droop for me. I dont want my springs fallin out

 

bds isnt the only 4-link setup, rockkrawler makes one too.

 

Seems inexpensive for a long-arm upgrade as apposed to the full kit I guess. haha
