Sweet!!!
Did you get the longer version?
I got the 2" lift ones, should I have gone with the 4"?
Yeah when I contacted jba they said their 4" lift version is 11" travel and measures 28" extended. My current load levelers measure 27.5" extended.... so I think the 4" version are what im going with when I order. More flex in the rear to help compensate for the lack of travel in front.
I think their 2" version is 26.5" iirc...
Calling to switch order now, thanks!
By the way, has anyone been to 4xguard.com lately?!? There are a few more parts they ahve available which are intriguing to say the least.. rear long arms, mounts, etc, I know Scott said he called SL about buying their drop brackets, say you were to get those you could essentially build your own lift, correct?!?
I was browsing 4xguard site last week and seen the long arms. So I did some research on other suv's with long arms (mainly Liberty's that had sas's). The general concensus was that it's good to get long arms BUT if you get more lift in the future (sas in front, more lift on the front IFS) the rear long arms will have to be moved. THe geometry gets off once you put long arms on and THEN lift it more afterwards. The frame mounts will have to be moved forward.
I want those long arms so bad. But if I ever get a sas in the front, I'd have to cut off the mounting brackets, reweld them further forward.
I was thinking about getting them but im not sure yet. Might start saving for a sas instead!

I hear you guys, I have no further plans about sas just not anytime in the next 5 yrs at least, unless I hit millions.. I do think rear long arms are a possibility if they will help with overall articulation, Maybe you more knowledgeable guys can step in here. But for the price It's now become a major possibility if others chime in on It's 1) worth, 2) someone who can install it at reasonable cost and 3) what other mods is a must - by this I mean can't be done without it, obviously a SL would be ideal but I just got these tires and plan to run them bald. Ideally I'd like to get the front spacer, new rear shocks, Matt's rear spacer all with rear long arms... thoughts?

The long-arms are useless for us. Not to mention changing the arc radius of the lower control arm without also changing the arc radius of the upper can result in really bad pinion angles throughout the range of motion. They only help if you're adding them to the superlift thats going above 6".... in which case you'll be adjusting the upper arms as well.
Also keep in mind the gas tank is the limiting factor for the driverside travel. Adding those long arms will just be more low hanging metal to hang up on rocks.
Well there goes that idea!! hahaha As I said this weekend I just cant justify the SL right now, unless I have a great year Ill have spacer added and thats it
