4.5 won't be to harsh on short arms (id suggest longer adjustable ones though)

short arms do not limit the flex... I got my tire to 37" off the ground before any others lifted on my short arms. (the rear shocks are to short limiting the rear tire staying planted....
what limits flex is the shocks you have on it. short arms just ride rougher than long arms. Because I have better flex than 2 of my buddies with long arms and one of my buddies with drop brackets.
in the front i run a 12" travel shock (should be running a 13" or a 14") in the rear i will be running a 10" travel shock
