Hey guys... I'm having a tough time deciding what i want. My options are 6 inch long arm, or an 8 inch. I know 6 is stable and secure. Heard 8 is too big, but i want to be able to clear 37's by the time i'm done with this one. Any suggestions? greatly appreciated..

if you'll be wheeling it and goin on trails dont go 8 inch. 6-6.5 will easily fit 37's you just gotta trim a lil. if you really want to try eight get a 6 inch kit and add a 2" coil spacer and longer shackles, if you dont like it you can easily go back down.

Lower is better, flex is over rated. I've been running ~6" lift on 37's for a couple of years and it really is nice in sidehill situations. 8" lifts look goofy IMHO.
