Which Long Arm System and Why? PROS and CONS
I am going to long arm my jeep and i want to know the pros and cons of each kit.
Will one give a better flex and not get in binds over the others?
Which one will ride the best on road and perform the best off road?
Which ones JOINTS WILL NOT WEAR OUT and has good quality?
Which company has the best customer service?
When i do this i want to do it right the first time? I will be doing the install and can do it over 2 or so days in the 18 wheeler shop i work so tools and things are not issues.
Any help is greatly appreciated and all open thoughts are accepted.
Thanks

I like the idea of going away from the 4 link because of all the bind it seems to bring. All i have heard about is yeah its a long arm but when the upper arms are half the length of the lower arms like the teraflex bind is going to come.
How has the ORE long arm kit been? Any body run it?

I love my RockKrawler stuff too! The crew there has excellent service. It rides amazing & it flexes like crazy too.
This is with the long arm, I previously had the mid arm and it was really nice too!

How hard was it to install the coil overs? Are they adjustable so you could get different heights out of them?

Just installed them a couple weekends ago. It wasn't too bad, took me and my buddy about 4-5 hours to install. The worst part it cutting the old mounts off. He had a plasma cutter and it was still a bit of work. But I trimmed out a lot of plastic inside the fenderwells to get the mounts mounted higher than specified so I could lower the whole Jeep down a bit and still use the 12" travel coilovers so that made for a bit more work also.
Yes, they are adjustable, I think have about 5" variance in them. I'm currently set about an inch below the top which equaled about 3" of up travel and the rest down. I need to get some shorter progressive rate coils(so they don't fall out) in the rear and then dial in my final ride height. I also have 12" travel shocks in the rear.
