With some long arm designs, with less than 4in of lift the arm can come in contact with the body.

for one, bolting on longarms doesnt necessarily "add flex."

second, im not following your question. are you saying you only have a "leveling kit" and thats it? or you have a "leveling kit" on top of another lift.

x2 ^^

What adds flex are longer shocks, longer brake lines.

the main purpose of long arms are to reset the wheel travel arc which in turn makes it travel more up and down than down and back, and all of that equates to ride quality


and leveling kit... pucks?
