Default Terra Long Arm Swap

Has anyone swapped out their short arms for the new long arms on the Terra 4 inch lift? If so have you noticed a difference in ride quality?

So your saying it is possible. If that is a yes what is involved, cutting welding, any major modifications?

Yes you have cut off the old control mounts (8) and weld on the new ones (4).

I saw the Long arm installed at a recent expo, and from what I saw i will try and describe what I saw, to provide some sort of visual. The new long arm brackets for the lower arms mount on the front and rear of the center skid plate. The lower arms are long, but the uppers are noticeably longer. It really looks like minamal welding and cutting (removal of old brackets) for the upgrade. Terra can give a better idea on price but to just purchase the long arms are just over $1000, and I was told that they may be willing to provide a trade in for the old lowers. I did not get to far into it without finding out if the upgrade would be worth the investment.
