Long Arm lifts?
I'm deciding whether I want to get the Rough Country 4 in X-series long arm kit or their 3.5 series II lift
Is a long arm kit worth the extra money?

I like the long arm lift. I have one and it's nice to have, but a lot can be done without the long arms. Depends how much you are going to do with it and how often you will feel a need for it. IMO: better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Choose carefully, no sense in changing it later and spending more money in the long run. That;s my 2 cents.

how big of a tire are you planning to run? at 4" or more, long arms will help correct your suspension geometry and will provide a nicer ride on pavement. if you do a lot of highway miles on your jeep, yeah, they'd be worth the extra cash.

I've heard that the rubber on the km2's doesn't last as long and that's why I am considering the trail grapplers at a smaller size due to the prize
