Long arms or longer short arms???

I am on the fence about which to get for a 2004 wj? I will most likely leave the rear stock or get longer short control arms for now
In a year or two, looking to go up another 2" ... (who isnt )
I am not big on welding or cutting anything off yet...

I guess my options are: jks short control arms, or front clayton long arms, or iror front long arms, or rustys or iror short adjustable arms

Don't waste your time and money with short arms, go straight to Claytons.

If you don't want to cut or weld then why even consider Clayton's (even though they are the best)

if you dont want to cut anything go with IRO's older style long arms with the bend in them, ive seen a couple people selling used ones on here from time to time just keep looking...
