Yeah tell me about it, i had my Shrockworks on my JK for less than a week when i took it to the shop and was told they wouldnt work with the RE long arm. The rear control arms mount on the frame in the same space where the rear Shrockworks rails mount up. You deffinetly have to run some body and/or pinch seam mounted rails with this long arm kit. I was looking into the A to Z rails, but now that i think about it those might now work either because those rails have a lower angle mounted rail that might contact the rear control arms. If the good Doctor Dirty is up to it, i just might take his offer and try to modify a set of rubicon rails (if i can find a set). Dirty's rails look very similar to the Shrockworks rails, which is what im looking for, protection AND a step assist for me and my little lady.

Trust me i wanted to do the 37's as i have more than enough room for them and money wasn't an issue. My problem was that i have an X with a dana 30 front and i didnt want to have a fragile front end when i went on the trails. I figure in a year or two i'll swap out the front dana 30 with a dana 44 and put some 37's on then.

Looks good!!

But I see a problem you might have (like I did) that RE fails to mention in the instructions....the rear control arms will make contact with the rear body mounts when flexing if you dont trim them.

Looks great Chuck!

VERY NICE RIG..

SoCalChuckster

good call, looking at them now i see how that can happen. Did you trim yours? If you did can you post up a picture or two of them? How did you trim them?

Yeah, I noticed mine after I installed the arms and put the Jeep on the ground. So I jacked it right back up, put it on stands and fixed it. I just used my 5" grinder with a cutting wheel and zipped them off below the body mount bolt.
Being my is a 4 door, its a little different, but it looks like yours is in the way also. My arms were a 1/4" from hitting the body mount while on the ground, let alone flexing it out, how they dont put that in the instructions is beyond me

I do like the tucked up arm mounts though, they dont catch on rocks very easy, unlike the FT arm mounts

Here are some pics of mine, the body mounts used to go down the bottom of the frame and almost touch the arms, I needed to trim them for my new rock rails (per their instructions) anyway

Thanks...yet another "to do" lol.
