I understand that you don't need tons of flex but from what I understand a long arm also gives you a much better on road ride, the angle of the arms cause less transfer of the bumps to the frame. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me.

hmmmm. fabtech or rough country..... hmmmm..... given those two choices..... I would rather pick between punching myself in the nutts, or making sweet asslove to a cactus.


I guess fabtech. At least the arms look adjustable. Oh hey... not to break your heart, but you do know that this super cheap lift you are putting on is gonna toast your driveshafts.... and you are gonna need a regear for 37s. Just to let you know.


I just dont get how someone can spend 20-30k on a new jeep then buy the cheapest lift they can find for it. It reminds me of these rednecks here that talk about how bad jeeps drive because they used to have a CJ-5 with 8" lift blocks front and rear, 4" shackles, and a 3" bodylift to fit 52" military Bias ply tires with 50% tread left. I guess if the dollar store sold brakes some jackass who didn't care about his family would buy those too....

I dunno, it just seems like bds, fabtec, skyjacker, trailmaster, RC, etc. are just companies that make truck lift kits and also make a couple jeep lifts too. I dunno. Most these kits are pretty incomplete looking to me. But I am sure that some engineer out there knows more than I do...
