What is the main difference between the 2? is it worth the extra 400$??
Do you get any any extra benefits ?
Anybody have any personal reviews on this lift?
im just a highschool student but i want to get a good lift for a good price.

you get the adjustable control arms with flex joints. it is easier to upgrade on I would save up for the long arm kit but the xflex is nice. just make sure with either kit you get full leaf packs

alright i think i will just go with the regular lift. Now what is the whole main purpose to long arms ? just keep your axle from coming back?

nicer ride so I hear. I will tell you tomorrow lol.

i maxed out my 12" shocks on short arms and I know will be able to with long arms too. but I hear the ride is 200% better

The regular lift dose not come with full leaf packs it's add-aleaf. I have the x flex on mine and will be putting the regular on my girlfriends soon. It's a nice kit but already wishing I just went long arm haha

Got the long arm. It rides nice. The back is kinda stiff an bouncy but I think the packs just need some breaking in. I'll tell u how it flexs after Sunday lol

My X will be here monday went with full leafs.....more money but done..couldnt budget the long arms but once you start you cant stop....Must be that jeep thing and I understand.....

zkeifer

Good choice and just remeber can always do the long arm later on

you can get the full packs with the out x series kit just gotta add it on there when you order

if your going to compare "apples" to "apples" and get the leaf pack on the non x kit, its only about 170 dollers less than the x kit. and i think that with the drop pitman, discos, and flex joints its deffenatly worth the extra coin. but if its not goin to be seeing much trail and mainly road i would not even worry about the x kit. but if you wanna do a little wheeling i would deffenatly go with the x kit.

a better ride as mentioned but also hella better flex. if you imagine a triangle on its side the point being your arm attached to your body and the top of the bottom of the triangle being your axle at ride stance and the bottom being flexed. now enlarge that triangle so that the point is farther back on the jeep. the same ratio is used and that bottom part is going to be considerably lower than before... idk if that helps but i dont have any pictures right now

Lol to simplify that^^^^ take your index finger am point it straight out. No move it up an down an note the size of the radius. Now take your whole forearm an move it up an down. Notice the difference. The longer the arm the more travel the arc can make. Which translates to greater flex an suspension travel

EXACTLY!!!! thank you
