LOL. Could it be done? For instence if you have the TF 2.5 Coil lift, could you purchase the Elite LCG JK Long Arm Upgrade Kit?

I think Teraflex was supposed to be coming out with one... IIRC that was the lift setup on their SEMA Jeep.

hopefully teraflex will chim in on this. I'm interested as well. I'm already thinking of upgrading to 3'' springs. A long arm upgrade would be great if the price is right.

i dont see why it couldn't be done. the length of the arms have nothing to do with lift, they are a pivot point for your suspension, controlling your axles movement forward, backward, up and down. the longer arms less movement smoother ride, the shorter arms more movement "bouncy " for a lack of better word, ride you will have. it is a control arm not a spring

Yes it can be done with a 2.5" coil kit and a LA Upgrade kit.

Do you get any interferance with the frame under full compression? From the pictures of you're SEMA set-up, it looks like the arms are pretty close to hitting if you're wheel travels up much.
