Dennis - not on AusJ.
Pizzaz - On AusJ.
I recall another red TJ in syd got the Long arm - not on AusJ (AFAIK).
But I wouldn't be surprised if there was 1-2 more out there.....

WOLF,
Of all my internet travels the one thing that seems very consistent is that the Long arm conversion transforms a pig of a short arm ride into a smooth street ride. Infact the short Arm kit & long arm kit (in the 4.5" lift), I believe that the short arm actually out flexes the long arm - but the long arm simply is overall so much better.
Lots of the yanks claim "better than stock" - but IMHO that benchmark is over used & isn't much to go by - but the concensus IS that it is probably the best off the shelf system available.....
I'd like to say that a long arm conversion is my next mod - but it probably won't

Just installed one on a mates TJ... Very Kool

Mines next.. as soon as it clears customs.

You need different trackbars.. the ones that come with it won't fit. I'm getting some made to the original Rubicon Xtreme duty specs. Suburban, in Sydney, has made some as well. Just let him know so he can have them ready for you when you need them.

Wooders that issue between the flex of the long and the short arms kits is due to the the supplied shock lengths is it not???.

No, it is due to the front being converted from a 5 link to a 3 link and the , limited front flex of a three link.
