Default long arm upgrade..

i got a 4.5 RC lift with coil spacers and 2" blocks. So basically a 6.5 lift but to make it better im putting 6.5 coils for improved flex and 6.5 leafs. With the spacers, it caused my axles to be pulled back because of the 4.5 non-adjustable control arms. well in my improvement i want to change to a long arm anyway. i want to what long arm kit yall think is the best? Thanks

Keep the 4.5 leafs and get a longer shackle. Betterflex than the 6.5 leafs and its cheaper

agreed. and depends on if you wanna do a full kit or do an upgrade kit. IRO and rock crawler are two of the best LA kits on the market but RC and rustys are a hell of alot more affordable.

3 link involves alot of fabbing. You would be better off with long arms unless this is a trail dedicated hard core Crawler. I have heard nothing but good things from serious long arms. They are on my list
