The trailmaster 4.5 that tony and john run is a long arm kit. Im not sure if they make a 4.5 short arm kit. I know dave(huskr4x4) purchased a rough country kit with out the arms and it was junk. The shocks were bad, it did not come with a front trackbar or bumpstops for the front or rear. I think he also had issues with the rear trackbar relocating. Hopefully he will jump in and tell you all about it but if not pm him. I have no personal experience with their product.

Casey, they do offer a 4.5 short arm with all the fixings and also one that even includes drive shafts. Checkout Northridge 4x4

Rough Country is kinda a joke in my opinion. It works for someone who will NEVER go off road. (at least the 3.25)

Since I've installed kit here is what I've changed.. (everything rough country is going)

Rough Country 2.2 shocks NOW Bilsteins
Rough Country Rear Track Bar relocator (it will puncture shock) NOW Teraflex
No Track bar NOW Trail Master (going Teraflex)
No Bumpstops front or rear NOW Teraflex F&R
Still using Rough Country coils (going Teraflex 3")


The kit makes every kinda noise possible!!!

New JKU owner (Goodyear) Second jeep in 9 months (11 Grand Cherokee), and wanted to try out the topless feature. Ouch, that was a mistake. I forgot how bad the sun.

Looking forward to joining some trips with you guys in the future.
