Dayam... maybe the reason you don't see any rock rash yet is that it hasn't been on the trails yet, all new paint. I would hate to lose that much clearance myself but each his own. I am using the Rustys HD Adj. Upper & LCA's on mine and well pleased so far with my short arm.
I know many will tell me I will be sorry but I have been using all Rustys HD pieces and do plan on using his long arm XJ kit. For over 2 yrs I have not had a single issue with any of his products and if I do will be the first to post about it and post photos of problems, so far I have never saw any photos of the problems posted about. That does not mean that there have not been problems with some of his products but name a vender that has never had a problem with something. From what I've saw the prices on the long arm kits from different venders are all around the same price of a 1k give or take.

OK, so it's great everyone is telling you to do it the "RIGHT" way. Buy a Long Arm Kit...
Seriously though, I AM running 4.5" Coils up front with a 1.75" Spacer stock Isolator removed. I'm netting around 5.5" of Lift, Performs, Drives & Flex's Just fine on the same short arms that came with the 4.5" kit. Been running that way for 5 years.
Sure, I'm upgrading to longarms now, BUT 5 years ago I didn't have the Cash for that and I would do it all the same way again.

go install your long arms. take your jeep at about 25mph through a bumpy old fire road. come back here and retract your comment. yes money is money. but if you can afford to cut out the middle man it's WAAAYYYYY better

On a side note, I'm waiting on some DOM to finish them with.
