So do you guys recommend 4.5 long arm for twice the price?
I plan in wheeling but not rubicon stuff. I do want to do rock crawling and big bear mtn stuff.

I don't recommend RC, period. Take a look at Serious Offroad's longarm kit. You can piece that together with other parts from one or several other manufacturers, and have yourself a great lift for a reasonable price.

They won't fit without a lot of grinding and work, the front mounts and smaller and a little new oddly shaped.

Hey thanks! Was going to head to the junk yard and grab some sway bar links but now that I know that they won't work on the front I may just get them off eBay for like 20 bucks...not too bad...

At first I didn't like these offset swaybar links because they don't come straight down but without them I wouldn't have been able to do this.

Duratracs are the best tires in that list. But have a weak side wall. If you arent doing rocks, that doesnt really matter.

BFG ATs and Wild Country's suck.

Have you looked at BFG KM2s? Theyre really good tires on road and off.

the trails ill be going on have small rocks packed in the bottom of the puddles, will the duratracs be good for them? also I heard some pretty good things about the wild country , why do they suck? and my final question what kind of tires do you have on your rig? sorry for all the questions
