Caught the Bug
First off, I'm sorry if this has been covered 100 times, I've searched and read for the last few days and just cant seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.
Has anyone had experience with BOTH Kits? I'm a little hesitant to jump off head first into the long arm (once you add in the tires, ATX wheels, regear, front 1350 driveshaft... its a bit thick to swallow all at once)
So pricing things out, IF I end up doing the long arms in the long run, I'm looking at ~$700 MORE then I would have spent going long arm off the bat. :doh: Is the long arm kit worth the money on a daily driven jeep? (Highway & City, with wheeling trips on the weekends) I know ride is highly suggestive, i'm just looking for someone to sway the mystery one way or another. I would ask around and ride in other jeeps around here, however real jeeps are few and far between, most around here are more interested in spacer lifts, light bars, and neon under-glow (colored rock lights) :doh:
I also am not entirely sold on a 4" lift, I would like to keep the jeep as low as possible with 37s, but I also do not want to be dragging my belly anymore when wheeling either. Most wheeling will be at parks like "Hidden Falls, Barnwell, Big Bend, Superlift, etc." w/ 3-5 hrs on the highway each way (MINIMUM) just to get there... I do plan on making a trip out to Moab, running the Dusy Ershim, and the Rubicon at LEAST once. (HOPEFULLY on a WOL run sooner or later :thumb. I plan on trimming my factory fenders. So what does the general consensus recommend? Thank you guys in advance.
Cliff Notes:
Manual Trans
JKU
37" Tires
Daily Driver/Weekend Wheeler
3" or 4" lift?
Adjustable Lower Control Arms (Enforcer) or Bolt On Long Arms (Double D)
