I run short arms w/ 12" coilovers and I like it.
It's hard to justify the long arms.

It seemed to me last time we talked you were considering changing arms because you found a kit that had mounts that mounted higher on the frame. I must have remembered wrong.

No your right. I'd love to have Mel's new long set up for the clearence and the ride.
But I already have a decent set up. If money wasn't a issue then sure I change over.

This should be on the cover of a book called "The Jeeper's Code" or heck, even the Jeep Bible

Hey Larry,
good to hear from you.
Let me know when you get it and how you like it.
I'm sure you'll love it.
Take care

Well if you ever decide to do it I would be more then happy to haul away all that old used junk you would have to replace for no charge.
