Default Long arms who's done it xj?

Looking into long arm upgrade vs adjustable short arms and the brackets

Rubicon express have the arms trans plate and mounting hardware for 650 us I have friends in states that cas assist with freight



Weighing up costs and if the long arm kit is really that much better?

Going to get some 5.5 inch coils for front already got new shockers that will suit

Ill be doing the track bar upgrade at same time to suit the high steering

dunno if it matters but the kit is for a cherokee with the np231 transfer case which from memory is the 2w/4w and not the np242 that came in the Aus chero's

might be different width/mounting.
