Hi guys , i've been doing alot of tinkering with the jeep and i'm finally getting it to handle better.Got rid of the drop pitman arm Big difference and now with my new mtz's looks awsome.Now my question is how much of a difference is your jeep with the long arm compared to the short arm.What comes with the upgrade adjustable tracbars ??? etc.do you use adrop pitman arm.The reason that i'm asking is that since you wrote me i've been courious about about the long arm upgrade.I've heard good things about the long arm lifts just not the rc one.I've gotten to a point that i do not want to change everything but just improve it any help would be super cool.The upgrade wont be now but maybe in the next year or so depends on the mysticle money tree.I just got my tires yesterday and the wife is already saying you shoulda got 35's.So i'm thinking upgrade and tires i'll wait and see anyway i hope to hear from ya OH yeah let me know if there is anything that you would've changed.THANKS Jeffrey Godin.

by the way jeff yes there is a big difference between long arm and short arm lifts and the ride difference is huge I had my tj on stock suspension and then long arm with tires ranging from 31 to 38.5 and I could say that the jeep was driving a whole lot betterr with the long arm especially once you lift more than 2.5 inch the angle of the controll arm get steeper thus directing all impacts into the frame so making the ride rougher but then puting a long arm reduces that angle and moves up and down a lot easier and the impact of bumps is also not directed in a straight line to the frame so improoving the ride but then again its all in the geometry of the suspension and the way impacts from bump, suspension travel and the radius in which it is perform.
