thanks man... yup thats what long arms are just longer control arms that help the ride and felx of the jeep.... even a zj on a short arm lift were ur arms go to stock location still works and performs awsome in the trails.... iv ran 3 zj's on short arms and they all flexed well and went anywere those big old ford would lol almost Nick , i remember a couple places you could not go ...... must i show you again ?  I'll make sure i have wire in the welder though  sounds like a challenge !!! i want pics and videos .. like it thinking of doing a long arm now (convince me) lol |

well took the jeep for a trip to bridgewater and back... drove the back road down drives pretty good ... gotta watch sharp sharp corners but other then that rode pretty welll... took the highway back from mahone bay to the new ross exit and wow goin 100KPH on the highway it rode like a caddy no shakes < even with unbalanced wheels> very good for highway drivin... the verdit isnt out on that cross over steering yet... kinda on the fence about it steering doesnt feel as tight as it did with stock steering parts ... when i get the bigger drop pitman that might make it a bit better but all in all LOVE IT!!!!! ;D long arms r the way to go... barely even feel the bumps in the road oh and maybe 20-25 bucks in gas to go to bridgwater from new ross and back... wich i think is decent conciderin its a v8 lifted on 33"s... i think it might even be better then the liberty  lol |
