Default Need some longarm info

I've got a 3.5 inch lift on my jeep right now and I'm going to put some longarms on it after longer shocks, breaklines, tcase drop and tracbar adjustment. but I also want some longarms, but I've got no idea about longarms. 3 link, 4 link, i dont know. what should I know about when looking to buy some?

most use radius arms while some others are 3 link and 4 link.

myself, i prefer the radius arm style.

you want to be over 4.5 inches to benefit from long arms tho.

there are many designs out there, you need to compare all of them to before committing to any one design.

and go with the slip yoke eliminator instead of the tcase drop if you go any taller than 4.5
