Now, I'm not Jeep smart at all, I just know how to drive & break them.... but, doesn't having a long arm in the back defeat some of that lift? I mean, it's.... kinda just.... in the way. lol.


Otherwise good lookin' rig! You'll have fun

Not really. Mine is 4 linked in the back and I've never had the rear arms get in the way or get hung up. Guess from wheelin it a lot you kinda learn where everything is under there and know what line to take on every obstacle. Just makes it flex like a bastard and ride like a caddy

To OP: Definitely got some potential there. Disc converted in the rear too, that's nice. Long arm it in the front and put some 35s on it.

What he said. Just do a long arm kit in the front too and it will work real good. Rear looks like it works pretty good
