So I have a question and i suppose its more personal preference at the same time but right now I have RC 4.5 lift on a 2000 xj limited 32s. Question is should i upgrade the the long arm kit or leave its 4.5 or so on. Reason im stuck is I want to get rock rails and skid plates and most sites need to know long arm or not or things have to get modded.

This is my daily driver so would long arm make that any worse or not.

if yes what long arm upgrade kit would you suggest.

long arms ride much better than short arms, if you have the money, buy them. get rubicon express, or bds, or serious offroad, or anything but rough country.

not everything they sell is bad, but what is bad they just keep selling and dont try to fix, why support a company that rips people off?

agreed 100% with ya.

as for the rubicon express i can not seem to find any kits from them that are just the upgrade kits. All that i see are the full long arm kits gonna look at the other 2 now.

No, your talking about springs.", these are to stop the wheels from hitting the fenders.
