I'm keeping eye on this thread, My plan for my XJ is 3.5" of lift and Long-arm

 

GRIP, the "SEARCH" function is your friend... remember?

Anyways, you should do some readings in the builds section.

 

Thank you for adding nothing to this thread.

I have done reasearch on a LCG setup, i am still doing research on bumpstops, but i am finding i may not need them right away.

 

Hey man, I saw you post a couple minutes ago in the other thread offended by what grip said... No need to really carry it over to this and other threads on the forum. If you've got beef with this guy, ya'll should probably take it up in PM. Just saying... Won't look as bad on you as if you go trolling around every post you see the guy make.

 

^^This.

If anyone has a personal issue with anyone, it should be taken to PMs.

And that goes for EVERYONE.

 

Well this was becoming a good discussion...Dont worry guys, i dont feed trolls.

More long arm info and discussion please.

 

Did anyone post KTMracer419's LCOG thread?

 

Nope.

I have read it, but it really doesnt go into much detail on long arms. I learned how they work, but i am looking more for other mfg's besides RC or Rusty's. Plus people with actual first hand experience are chiming in and giving opinions.

 

Check out Rock Krawler and Iron Rock Offroad

 

I don't have LAs but some manufacturers are:

Rustys
Rough Country
TNT Customs
Iron Man 4x4 Fab
Iron Rock Off Road
Clayton Off Road
Rock Krawler

 

imo, short arms work very well w/leafs. but when you go to long arms, the articulation increases so much, it's just hard for the rear to compete.

leafs can flex well, but not the same as a long arm setup. shackle relocation boxes are necessary if you run LAs imo. i wont run LAs on an xj w/leafs anymore.

 

This is a situational thing then... The proper leaf setup will surprise you. But the big U leaf springs coming with most lift kits isn't going to flex like the front without, like you said, shackle relocation brackets.

 

I have a hard time finding shocks to allow full flex in the rear.. thats my only limiting factor in my leaf setup. thinkign of bringing them threw the floor.... but we all have our own opinions, and like certain things for our own reasons.

 

I get that, I have them, and love them.... i just don't know that they would be needed at that hieght. but it wont do anything but good really.
