I have a 4.5 inch rough country short arm lift, they make a long arm upgrade for this for 649.00. But would it be better to go with a 6.5 long arm kit that runs 1449.00? Has anyone bought the upgrade kit? Thanks....

depends on what you are wanting to do. if you intend on going higher in the future you might as well do it at the same time. if you are completely satisfied with your current lift save the 800$ and just do the LCA upgrade.

I'm thinking the 6.5 is the way to go. Thanks for the advise. It's a big purchase so I want as many opinions as possible.

Maybe, I can't recall right now but you could put in a 3/4" spacer

Seems like the cheapest option to me, I could understand the whole thing if you were going from stock

Yea that's what I was thinking. Coils can't be to expensive. I do want to go bigger anyway to run 35's or 37's.
