Long arms can allow you to increase down travel, But it will depend on the overall set up the the rig, as it is just one part of an entire system.
A properly set up long arm has no drawbacks to the off road performance either, in fact it will be a better then a short arm in both on road and off road at any lift height.

You may have your opinions and believe the myths about long arms, but if you really know how to properly set up a long arm suspension and understand suspension design you would have been able to comprehend my statement which is 100% correct.

Yep, lol. Noobs are funny. Having designed and built from scratch numerous 3/4/5 links in my time and being part of a few off road competition teams using scratch built jeeps and buggies I must not have a clue and you must know it all believing you can get more than 11" of travel out of a shock by adding a long a kit to a jeep. ROFL.

I never said adding long arms would increase travel on a set up using 11" travel shocks vs a short arm? i never even mentioned shocks. I never mentioned tj's either and their shitty thin super short arms.
Mb when I get off the road and can sit down in front of a keyboard I will give a more technical answer on the short arm vs the long arm but I am not going to do it on my phone tonight.
I am not saying I am a know it all but you seem to make assumption and run down people when you half ass read a post. Adding longer shocks may or may not add articulation to a set up, it depends on several components, not just one thing and if you are as experienced as you say you should know that as well.
