anything higher then 4" of lift you'll benefit from a long arm but it aint nothing to sweat about it you got short arms.

i got tf full 8 flex arms but after having qc issues with new sets of arms, i'd way rather recommend MC control arms or RK.

Teraflex does have awesome customer service and has taken care of me in my book.

The reason I'm asking is if it made a big difference because you have to weld on new brackets for long arm and short ones you don't. So is it worth it with my four inch lift?

it will definitely ride better on the street. but the outcome off road will be the same unless you running taller than 37's and 4" of lift with coilovers, youre not going to know a difference off road.

so the answer is no it's not worth doing on a four inch lift with 35's with a weekend warrior.

Pluke gave good advice. Check out the arms on the metal cloak site. Watch their videos on how they compare their arms to others. Lots of good info.
