XJ long are upgrade
Does anyone know of a cheap and good long arm upgrade? Looking to switch mine. I think I have a 5.5 lift on it now. Here's a pic if anyone can tell how high it sits. Thanks for any info.

In order of preference
8-900$ Staangs Fab
600$ IRO
600$ BDS
649$ RC
For the small price difference I go with Staangs because of how easy they are to deal with and the quality of everything else I've seen but the BDS and the RC both look pretty well made.
Edit: IRO is another option, forgot about them. I'd put them above BDS and RC as I've now done.

is that list based on your experience or based on what you've heard on the internet?
to the OP a "cheap good" LA upgrade would be to build your own
other than that your looking at Rough Country or Rusty's for cheap

there are many options out there, just do your research and know what you are buying, and how the warranty works.
compare, compare, compare.

after seeing most kits run Clayton, Iron Man Offroad (though you need a mount for theirs) Frank Z, Rock Krawler, TNT all good brands stay away from RE, RC and rustys when it comes to long arms but thats just my .02

Thanks for the link, I couldn't find it when I searched for his kit. I like his kit the best but I can't see paying 750+150 shipping. That's alot i think for just an upgrade.
