Default Thinking of replacing my 3" BDS lift

IM thinking about replacing my 3" BDS lift on my 10' JKU with a 4.5 inch long arm kit. Any recommendations in the long arm kit? Thanks

Default upgrading

If you've been happy with your BDS 3" then you'll probably be happy with their 4" short arm kit. I'm in the same boat, I've been thinking the same thing with my BDS 3" as well. I'm also looking at the Rubicon Express short arm kit as well.

What I think I'm gonna do is keep my 3" kit and add the RE short arms which will let me adjust my camber. Then when I save up some more money I'll swap out the 3" springs for 4" springs and if my shocks are worn out replace the shocks as well. Some of the best lifts I've seen were pieced together with multiple compenents from different manufacturers.

I think I'm going with the BDS 4.5 long arm kit. I've heard nothing bad about it at all, and I hear long arm kits ride a lot better than short arm.
