at what lift are really long LCA's needed ?

do they really do that much over a 'normal' set of adjustable LCA's ?

need to be more educated on these as im looking at getting some adjustables eventually

4" lift is really the highest you want to go on stock length arms. The reason is that as the arms become steeper, more of the force is transferred into the body rather than compressing the spring. Long arms are not perfect either as they cause more weight transfer when climbing steep hill by allowing the front to raise higher. That is why you see little winches used to stop the axle dropping too far down or limiting straps. You can just run drop bracket and stock length arms so you get the great ride without those draw backs too and they just bolt in. That is what i run but use WJ arms to get an even softer ride.

Cherokee control arm relocation brackets are used to relocate the upper and lower control arms approximately 3" lower and 1/2" forward of their factory position. The resulting reduction in control arm angle improves lifted ride and handling substantially. We recommend they be used in conjunction with the RE9900 support brackets on XJ model Cherokees. Maximum benefit for lifts 3.5" and higher. Easy installation.

Kyro covered it but you must get the braces that bolt under your cross member as well which are not pictured above. Think they show up on my write up fitting WJ arms?
