I've never ran long arms, I don know many people who have run multiple sets, if it were me buying a kit though, I'd get rubicon express, Clayton, or bds.

Surprisingly, no. That's their one product I don't recommend. They use a unique camber adjustment system that relies on one bolt. I haven't heard of it actually failing, but the design is inherently weaker than other setups.

Sorry everyone I am very new to this. I am a college student, I want a 2inch lift kit, I have one in mind. Its spacers for the front, and rear add a leafs for the back with shocks for a stock-like ride, Nothing cool or special just something I can afford. My Jeep is a stock 2000 XJ with a Chrysler 8.25 rear end, What the biggest tire I can fit onto it with a 2 inch lift. 245 75 16s?

That's the exact opposite of what I said.

I said the design is different, and I don't like it, BUT I have never actually read of one failing. That means the product is probably strong enough for most of us, but if I'm spending that much, I'd rather go with something that doesn't have that weak point.

I would recommend getting lift shackles in the rear over the AAL. I've seen people run 30's and 31's with 2" of lift.
