Okay, so after much thinking, I have decided to get longarms. Am trying to figure out which ones I want. I like serious' design, but I don't really like how low the arms mount, and I really like the tnt arms because they are high clearence and the mounting seems to be higher. But the price is crazy. I could really use some help

 

Have you looked at iron rock off road I'm looking at getting them

I'm running serious offroad longarms and I haven't had a problem yet. I wasn't to crazy about the mount because if you have to pull the trans It's gotta come out but It's held up great so far. The built-in tcase skid is nice and mine has the scars to prove it works.

 

The TnT has more clearance and a removable cross member center section (easier to service trans and case). It also was designed by a qualified engineer for best ride quality and handling with strength in mind.

 

buy a cross member from another manufacturer and make your own y-links?...not sure what your situation is, but most of the work is in the cross member. jmho.

 

It hasn't been a real issue I pulled the motor and trans this last summer It's just a little more work other than that I have been happy. It has much better flex and the ride is a lot better than it was on short arms

 

Agreed

 

I'm leaning toward tnt

 

Tnt or Claytons and maybe RK are the only ones I'd be looking at...

 

the clearance on the T&T kit was ridiculous. I slid over everything without even thinking. I'll never wheel another jeep without a belly pan. be prepared to be spoiled for life

the price is a real killer though. if you're on a budget go with serious. cant beat the beef for the price. even if you built it yourself

 

Hey atmos, as you see, I decided to go long arms. And I am kind of on a budget, but I want to do this all right the first time. So I think I'm gonna order the tnt as soon as I get the money, that way I can't bounce back and forth anymore

 

haha yeah I noticed. that was a fast change of mind. I think TNT is the right choice too if you can afford it. at 5" of lift and 12" of travel you will never notice any binding or unloading. I think the radius arms are a really good choice with the D30

 

What travel shocks did you run? Think I could use 14?

 

I was damn near 14" I'll have to measure again. because I had a bracket that eliminated my stems (I ran eyelets) which moved the shock down. and I think they were longer than 12" travel.

I was at 4.5" of lift and ran a limit strap. so I was using about 12" of it (otherwise the coils pop out). I would've rather had a shorter shock with a bit more uptravel so I wasn't bottoming out all the time

 

I bought RC long arms, no removable center section. Not the best design. Cheap though. If I had to do it all again I'd go the route of a weld on xmember with removable center section and a 3 link. Live and learn, tell others so they don't do the same lol.
