Axle articulation ......most and foremost a long arm will drop so far your butt will pucker

Also a long arm helps the suspension flex without binding and lets it do it in a smoother motion. With the stock short arms and a lift kit the arms point down at such an angle that when you hit a bump/log/rock, etc the control arm would rather go back than forward and up. With a long arm the control arm is flatter and will more smoothly cycle up with the suspension.

Here is a crude drawing I did via Paint to demonstrate.

Ty that makes alot of sence, I am looking into them and the cheapest i am finding is 600+. I crawled under it today to see if i can find whats causing the wobble and all i am finding loose is the uppper and lower control arms, Rough country has a set of adjustable lowers for 100 for the set and the uppers are 189.00 so another 300 and i the control arms. or i can just buy the entires series II kit and for 345 and then just sell what I dont need......thoughts?

Brian. If these guys go wheeling in Clayton you are probably closer to it than most of the Okc Metro guys so no reason you can tag along.

I found this video of Torque converters thought someone else might learn something from it. Its one of the better ones i've seen. Because i need to now how a part works before i understand the need for it.
