So, I've got a '94 xj, 5-speed, 4x4, 4.0L. So, I just got Rustys 4.5" front coils, and 3.5" full leaf packs, with 1.5" shackles. I am installing a SYE. I am wondering if I should go with a long arm setup up, or just stick with adjustable short arm? This is my DD, but I do like to go off road when I can. I also don't want to spend a ton.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,
J

your first problem is that rusty's leafs are just as garbage as their reputation for trackbars.



anyways, aside from that, I will ALWAYS recommend longarm. it is worth the money.

well, rustys longarm kits aren't, but you get the picture.

if its working good now leave it alone

also, longarms will make for better ride quality

I think my ride may suck more putting this 4.5" lift in while using my stock control arms, not to mention the caster problem I may incounter.

I havn't installed the 4.5" lift yet. It only has a 3" AAL in it now.

I don't do any extreme offroading. Bbut, I need it to be road safe, for my daughter.

Thanks,

I have a 4.5 inch lift, short arm and my ride is pretty rough. I can't wait to do a long arm conversion.... TNT or Trek offroad makes a very nice long arm upgrade. It's $900 though, but you get what you pay for. I've only heard good things about that setup.

the RC y link is a VERY nice setup for the money, and it's only around $600
