I know you wheel rocks..but I still think long arms would be good for you.
A nice 3/4 link..

You may slide them off rocks..but I don't see them actually preventing you from gliding over something.

On my 00 with the 3 link I slid over a few things but never hung on the arms or mounts

What ever I do I'll have to do some more research I don't think I'll have enough clearance for a 3 link at my current height thus I would be forced to run a radius setup if I go longarm. I may be able to pull off a 3 Link if I go mid arm.

By frochech suspensions kit. He has people running his high Clearance 3 link kit with lifts of only 3". Worth a call or a message to talk to him! He's a cool guy and will help you out in deciding.

The FST, TNT , Serious , Clayton are the 4 I've been looking at. I have buddy's with TnT and Clayton. So I know how they are built. I like serious's price and the fact I am local to teraflex so I can get their bushings same day if I need to replace one. And the FST is just looks badass

Ask "Speedofsound" on here about his experience with FST. I had a similar experience but I wasn't waiting on over 1k of stuff... Then he didn't even get it all once he finally did

I'm surprised you wouldn't want to go LA given the terrain you have out there in Utah. It looks like its a blast.

I am still considering it but I think a midarm would be better suited for my XJ at its current height , My Yj on the other hand I am thinking about stretching with a Genright coilovers conversion and running 40's on D60's with a Stak 3 speed or atlas 4spd
