So with 12"-14"+ of useable travel with coilover your bushings will last as long

no thats my whole point it depends on travel and extended lengths of them, not just coilover...he made it sounds like all coilovers because for some magic reason they flex more.

Yeah, but I am talking the 10-14 inch travel coilovers.

So 10-14'' coilovers produce more travel than 10-14'' bypass shocks I'm confused and I only had one drink, wait bushings or travel? coilovers or shocks flex or travel hmmmmm maybe just time for bed.

Wow, this is a thread to nowhere.

Understanding suspension geometry and how to properly set up a suspenion and coil overs will tell you what YOU need for your set up. Asking about "what long arm lift" is just going to get you a bunch of people telling you how good their kit is.

For the amount of money you are looking at doing a long arm coil over I would want to know it was going to work not just take someones word for it off a forum. You might start by finding a reputiable shop to do a custom build and study up on suspension design and theory so you know what will and won't work with the JK and its design limitations.
