You can buy just the LA subrame assembly from IRO for $250.

going from short arms to longarms was the best thing i ever did. not only does the ride improve, but the wheelin changes too. instead of trying to push into an obstacle when your on short arms, the front end will want to climb up it on longarms because the angle of the arm is flatter. plus i use my longarms as my secondary rock sliders. its nice to just slide of obstacles.
