hey guys, im planning on doing rusty's 6.5" lift kit. but the offer a short arm, as well as a long arm. im on a budget but i want to hear from people who have the short arm kit, how well does it flex, highway handeling, on road comfortability?? same for the long arm people? if anyone is running anyone of these kits, I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU. last thing i want to do is buy a kit and have it ride crappy. thanks guys.

 

in my opinion

anything above a 4" requires some control arm angle correction.

either from longarms,midarms or drop brackets.

 

yeah if you go 5.5 or higher you need a control arm drop or long arms

 

in my opinion control arm drops are no a good choice..... yes it may be cheap, but nothing is upgraded...any type of control arm upgrade would be good... but keeping in mind these vehicles are designed not to climb muddy hills, or crawl over rocks, or traverse logs...etc
they were designed to drive on the streets and clam dirt roads.....

my thoughts are upgraded is better always... if its from a manufacturer then its built to handle offroad use...
