long arms for taller lifts
smaller lifts short arms.
1) ride quality
2) the travel arc in which the wheel travels
3) short arms limit flex on bigger lifts and put alot of strain on the body (it ripped my axle mounts off the body.
granted. short arms will flex very well:
altho long arms will flex better with less bind and it will ride better:
here are the set ups I have run:
factory arms - 4"
factory arms - 6"
adjustable upper/lower short arms - 6"
adjustable upper/lower short arms 2" axle stretch - 6"
long arms - 6"
long arms with axle stretch - 7.25"
