Default Long Arm question

So i just bought another jeep 1993 xj and am looking at the 4.5 inch lift form Rusty's offroad. So my question is would a long arm set be effective for this lift? I just don't know if it would be worth the money. Opinions?

Or you could go with adjustable arms. They seem to be well suited for mid height lifts.

Im looking into them for myself.

But its all gonna depend on your setup and what you would like to do.

If you have the money and you're gonna use if for more than a mall crawler, long arms are worth it. Plus they give you a better on-the-road ride.

MY opinion on radias arm style long arms is they are not the best option out there. Do research on who you buy from. I dealt with Rusty's yrs ago.... and due to that experience.. I will NEVER deal with them again.
