Default Flexing

Out of all the lift kit companies out there making long arm kits for the Cherokee, which one do people think flex the most and which one would you buy?
Hopefully this is in the right section

it depends on shocks, brake lines, steering, trackbar, tire size....

any "good" long arm upgrade will flex way more than needed.

iron rock offroad is wicked strong and affordable, imo claytons makes an awesome setup. rock crawler is good. really like mentioned before, you can get the stuff needed for good flex and just put on long arms and they'll all be about the same. rc and RE are both highly used so naturally there's more critics about them. personally, I've used rc on my old rig and It was crap. the long arms themselves are decent just like any other but the leafs sucked, adj. trackbar was useless, hydro shocks were like a dump truck(thats the same as any low end hydros) and I just didn't like it.

I have rough country long arms I like them but if I could do it again I'd for sure get the Clayton set up

x2. also depends on what configuration you want to run. IRO, RC, and Rustys are the bottom feeders in the long arm game.
