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.

I'd much rather shell out the extra hundred bucks and get serious offroad long arms
