A proper long arm upgrade is almost a thousand bucks and not really necessary for a small lift... Good arms and a relocation kit might do the trick and are cheaper, even quality ones...

I'm between Currie and Ironman. I guess the Currie lower arms that are specific for XJ having one of the end not centered seek the same purpose, is that correct?

all great choices. i got ironman andy's arms this time, and love them! BEEF! i decided to go w/his tapered bushings.
the one con i've heard/read about joints on both ends, is the ride is a little harsher because there are no bushings to dampen vibration.

And finally: the tallest mountain in the country is about 1500ft, so not to much rock to crawling in

Seriously speaking: with a 32x11 or 33x10 with 4.5 lift kit and good components I think I can build a rig very capable for most of the terrains here and also use in the city without many problems.
djlarroc: I don't think that the ride will be harsher than the current components LOL, but thanks for the answer. I've read all good things about Ironman and I like also his tie rod, beefy and cheaper than the one from Currie.
