I'm looking at going to long arm from short in my xj cherokee

I'm selling my adjustable short arms
I reckon my mates car wasn't to bad on short arms with 6 inch lift

Bit crap on the freeway at 100 and high speed bush bashing

Long Arms in our JKU Rubicon.
Don't think it helps with flex too much, but it certainly improves ride and handling because of a reduction in control arm angles and in helping to keep them more level to the road. IMO not for everyone though and on most lifts not really required.

Regards

George.

How about modded aftermarket short arms to make them medium length?
