Nice pic, I've been debating on putting on a long arm kit, now I have a really good comparison pic to think about. Are the lower control arms curved like Nth degree? ~punk

the rears are dog legged similar to the Nth degree kit for the TJs. they dont tuck quite as high tho. |

Sure, I'll take the quote, parts vs. install price please. I drove by your new location in temecula the other day, when are you opening it? I live 20 minutes away from it. Here is what my short arm "frankenlift" can do. So far it goes anywhere i want it to but i have bent my Currie lower control arms due to the straight unbent arm when I was crawling around on John Bull trail. It would be nice to have even more clearance than i have now.
And a tummy tuck skid would really help me out, my "shovel" stock skid is taking a beating lately.

not to change the subject o5tj but when you say Frankenstein lift what are you running more specific? i have a 4.5" rubicon express sf and HATE it ~devil i cant keep the driver front tire down on the ground ( wheelies are only cool on the street bike ) I've ruined all most all the bushings and bent the rear uppers and replaced with Currie witch are surprisingly small 1" tubes but i just cant justify 5 grand for a long arm kit... it flexes okay but rides like ass! you have any better luck with your short arm?

I'm running the R.E. 5.5" long arm with the tri link rear and love it it has great flex. the ride on or off road is comfortable just like 05 I have the Currie anti rock sway bar on 37" tires. Here is an example of what I get out of it.   |

A long arm will not stop the front wheel from coming off the ground, it will help. Any bolt on kit is going to cause the r/rear to squat. A 4 link set correct will get rid of it. I have had a currie SA=major sqaut. I had the LCG kit on my last rubicon and after messing with the upper link setting and shock valving I got rid of most of it. The Tera LCG is the best lift I have installed. But I would have used 4in springs. |

Sorry for the slow response. I run 6" FabTech springs, Pro Comp remote reservoir long travel shocks, all 8 control arms, upper and lower, are Currie adjustable, greasable Johnnie Joint arms, Teraflex S/T swaybar kit with extended links, a SYE, front and rear Tom Woods CV drive shafts. I was getting so much flex out of my short arm frankenlift i started throwing front springs at max flex so i had to add front bumpstops and i welded in a keeper tab that holds down my front springs. What it all comes down to is my shocks have to much travel but i like em so i'm keeping them,lol. |
