With how technical and "knowledgable" you act and get on people for not knowing and claiming you know so much, why don't you get off your computer and get a job at a dealership or an offroad shop or some where useful,Or do you just read articles and regergitate on to these forums while having a stock truck? Cause siriously you always have something negitive to say about me my posts or anyone else for that matter for suggesting "name brand" parts...oh im sorry i like stuff that dosent break an sorry for offending you brcuase you can not affoard these said parts...has anyone even see pictures of your jeep?

I'm sure you would have taken me on that ramp zach, but it out flexed at least 1 long arm ZJ, 1 long arm MJ, & quite a few XJs not sure if they were long armed or not!

Oh I knew what you meant! I was just saying that people tend to jump into LAs, cause its the cool thing to do, instead of just getting quality short arms, & some well set up leafs... I don't see myself going to long arms any time to soon after that ramp test!

I'm hearing alot of good things about how cheap and available the Chevy 1500 lines are. 96_XJ has put in some time finding all the part numbers and prices. He's posted it quite a few times.

Ya I mention the f150 set up cause the JY didn't have a 1500 when looking for a friends... I run procomp braided lines (dont remember the length), & love them! Even at full flex they still have plenty of slack in them!
