it depends on the pitman arm, if your running 3" coils etc, that stuff is not needed

Exactly right, Eddie. FT makes the 3, 4 and 6 long arm and long arm upgrades. From my inderstanding is that you don't need that stuff on the 3, it is advisable on the 4 (from my experience with the jeep at 4, it think it is a good idea) and a must with the 6.

Whick kit are you running, 6 long arm? I was trying to figure out if there was any difference between the 3 4 and 6 in regards to the arms. I know for a fact that the 3 and 4 inch kits are the same arms, I thought maybe the 6" kit was different, longer maybe? Any ideas on this.....I am wondering if you are topped out at 4" with that kit, or could you grow it to 6" with that same kit?

all the Fulltraction Long arms use the same control arms and brackets, the difference between the kits are the shocks, coils, pitman arm, and drop down brackets

so you can go from the 3" to the 6" kit by adding coils, shocks, pitman arm, drop down bracket

Thanks, that is what I thought. That's the nice thing about going with those coilovers, you can set the height at whatever you want. Can't wait to get the rear evo set up for full adjustability. The fronts are great!!

Do think that a rear drop down bracket is needed as well as the front for 4" and over? Do you have a rear on yours?
