I'd go with Iron Rock Offroad or frankz longarms. Franks are listed in the vendor section.

I'm getting Ironman4x4fab's radius long arms for $500 shipped. I'll be building my own crossmember. They are supposed to be made out of thicker material than any other LA on the market. Larger johnny joints as well.

Iron Rock's LA here. Amazing. No complaints, super strong, quiet ride, insane articulation!

rough country is great! our jeeps arent heavy enough to call for the thickness of the iron man 4x4. unless you plan to jump your jeep off a cliff:/ and i like the adjust ability of the rough country! johney joint on the main arm as well as the ylink arm. and it comes with a crossmember AND a tcase skid! all for $650. hard to beat that!

Id rather have somethin overly strong and not have to worry about breaking it.
