I will paypal $5 to the...

It's actually from Rough Country, and I thought about the long arms but honestly, unless I could get them to throw them in with the kit, it wouldn't be worth it for me. They do ride better and flex better, but the extra cost, and extra work kind of outweigh that for me. It's almost double the cost for a Rubicon Express long arm kit.

I decided on the short arms because the Jeep will only be used for mudding and mild trails.

It won't need a ton of flex.

I definitely wouldn't mind a set if I could find them used cheap though. A kid in my school has a 4.5" long arm kit and it seems kind of useless to me at that height. It hangs way too low since he only has 33's.

True, I didn't think about that. You got a good base to start off of with the jeep. You gonna regear?

Definitely, 3.55's with 33's sucks, I don't want to know what it would be like with 35's.

4.56's with 33's should be nice, with 35's it should be OK.

I'd go with 4:88's if you think your ever wanna go with a bigger tire, then you don't have to re gear. I put 4:88"s in mine with 35's. When they wore out I went with 38's and they still feel good. Alot easier on the ****** too.

How was it on the highway though?

The only thing I'm worried about is it revving at like 5k only doing 110(km/h) with it geared that low.

 

[Injected54 10+ year member]

About 2.5k at 75 mph with the overdrive on. Not sure about what the difference in vehicles and the mpg to km/h would be though.

 

[JeepSound 10+ year member]

Thats actually not too bad. I used an online converter and 75mph comes out to about 120kph.

Maybe I'll see what the guy with the long arm kit at school has, it would be nice if I could test the ratios first.

 

[Injected54 10+ year member]

Lol yep, a lot cheaper too.
