Default Front long arms

my jeep has a 2" lift and I would like to put a long arm system on the front for better movement. I don't want to lift anymore at this time. Does anyone know where I can get weldable links to build a system? Any help would be appreciated.

But in all honesty, long arms on a 2" lift makes no sense.

Why not? Low center of gravity build with massive downtravel sounds fun

Long arms on a low lift depends on a few things.

1. What your bumpstops are set at depends on weather or not the arms are gona hit the frame rail. I run 33's on a 3" lift with clayton la's and the long arms stop 1/4" before they touch the frame.

2. If you are gona relocate your upper shock mounts. If you dont, then your shocks are gona be to short and you wont get as much flex out of it as you could.

3. What are your fab skills? Just building a long arm system isnt that easy if you dont know what you are doin. Im not sayin dont try it. But if you havent done it before, i would have someone else that has done it guide you.

IMHO, if you are gona stay at 2" and wana build a kit, look into a mid arm system. It would give you more flex than you would ever need.

But to answer your question, http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/ has more parts than you could ever find a use for.
