Thanks for all the help...my first rig was a YJ and I was as cheap as I could be because I had absolutely no money. Now I have some money (some money) being the key word and I want to make sure that I get what I pay for. If I pay for crap I expect crap but if I pay for something good and so on. I will do some more investigation.
And thats the whole point. Buyer beware, specially with long arms.
If you were looking a cheap short arm, I'd either pass it over, or make a small recommendation on what joints to run on your arms. The expense is small, the risk is minor.
You are looking for long arm advice. A long arm suspension is a major investment. And no matter what anyone says, all long arm companies will pimp themselves as the best.
All shops will pimp their deepest discounts as the best.
Their are long arms out there that can run you close to 10,000$ installed, and honestly, I wouldnt run them on my worst enemies jeep.
The kit you suggested is over 3000$. It has questionable rod ends, poly bushings in the arms and a very questionable steering kit included in it.
I worked with suspensions on jeeps for quite a while now.
I can either sit here and tell you sure "thats fine" or I can tell you the truth and point you in another direction. The budgets are all similar except a couple choice brands that I dont recommend anyways.
The difference always comes down to quality of components. They are either making a 1500$ margin on a 3000$ lift, or an 800$ one. Unless you know the difference between parts, how are you going to know what you are getting for your 3000$.
Would that suspension work for your. Sure.
Is there considerable better quality, lower maintenance, stronger, better handling suspensions available for the same kind of money. Sure.
You just need to know what to look for.
Im not here to push my style on anyone. If I were, I would tell you they are all junk and only I could build you a good suspension. That simply isnt the case. There are suspensions out there that will meet your needs. Its just that some are better then others, and when it comes to long arms, most of them are in the same price range.
And dan, once you can go over it all, you just get to build to go faster
It never gets boring silly.....
