Long arm kits are typically not discussed on this forum, and you'd be hard pressed to find any information regarding this sort of upgrade here.

I like Clayton offroads kit. Rockkrawler also is another good one. There are many different kinds of long arm kits. There's radius arm, 3 link, 4 link. Do some research and figure out what one is best for you

what the hell? I think this was a sarcastic way of saying use the search function.... tons of topics on this. Personally I'll be installing Iron Rock Offroad's long arm upgrade on mine in a few weeks.

look into every aspect of each long arm kit. some kits are stupid, others are just poorly designed.

You'll get the best results if you install a long arm kit by the same people that made your lift.

Rough Country has a kit that I would recommend simply because of their warranty – if something of theirs breaks they replace it for free no questions asked. Not to mention, the prices are low.
