Here we go again...
If you're looking to do a longarm upgrade don't cheap out. Take your time, do your research, save your money and get a quality kit, or piece one together on your own. Personally I wouldn't even consider a RC kit, and would not recommend any RC product from experience.

This is what I went with, in my opinion the best radius arm setup.

But if you don't want to spend all that. Definitely go with serious' long arms. Best bang for your buck

Just to throw my 2c in here- check out IRO. http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=PFX
599.00. I have ran their entire 6.5 kit for 4 years and 140,000 mile without any problems. I have also purchased a lot of other stuff from them- with no issues. I am now, finally, having to replace the super-flex (Rubicon express) joints in the ends. Go ahead and do some research- everyone who has their stuff loves them and have virtually no complaints. Most who don't hate it for various reasons but mostly because of the castor adjustor (once again- never an issue for me). Their arms are made with more metal than 80% of the kits out there and I don't have anything bad to say about them.

There arms are huge compared to rc and some others, I would definately recommend the IRO, and less metal doesnt mean less strength, If I dimpled my entire crossmember, it would have less than half the metal of others but twice the strength.

And that sir is what I do. Haha, im only at 3 and a lot of stock components, I'm basing my recommendation(IRO) off the build quality and seeing how capable the vehicles are running it. But from my set up I can say, i have ramped and bottomed out my rc shocks, none have blown, I go everywhere I point the rig and stock wheels dont like sliding into big *** rocks at 40, but duratracs dont mind it
