Someone does need to make a long arm "upgrade" consisting of arms/joints/ends and mounts......that is all.

redbob2323 · 03-08-2009, 04:01 PM

thanks, do you think that i could buy any long arms and brackets and put them on or do u think that kits are made specifically for front long arms only

I would LA the rear first then do the front later. NeverMonday has this setup and he seems to have lots of advantages for LA rear SA front. Look at some of his threads

Alright, got back from the Badlands Sunday around 4.00 p.m. Everything worked really well and never really even lifted a tire except on vertical climbs where the front end was getting light. I think I may have had the rear tire come off the ground one time but that was prolly because of the hill I was going down. All in all the kit performed flawlessly. I had some steering issues with the draglink hitting the sway bar mount and making some popping noise but man will that thing flex.

I am uploading some pics now so it may be a little while but I will post some.

I hope you guys had the bolts to do the Green trail. I love that damned trail.

We ran the orange with the XJ guys and the red with a guy that went with us. Ran most of the green but the lines were so long on the 2nd ledge that looked real tough we had to bypass it. Badlands is an awesome place to wheel.
Here are a few pics of. I will get the other pics of the quarry loaded up as soon as the other guy gets the cd to me.

izanuff · 03-09-2009, 05:03 PM

what do you guys plan on doing about the steering issues? cutting and moving the sway bar mounts?

**wrangler2007** · 03-09-2009, 05:29 PM

Was it because of the RK steering upgrade or what? I'm looking at the RK x steering upgrade ya'll did...

Jeff, if you enjoy the Badlands so much you should come out to my welcome home run in about 5 months. We'll have a bunch of Jeeps out there I'm sure, and we can run through the Green trail. You are missing out. I did the Green stock on 31's so I don't know where you had the hard time. But the Green is a long *** trail, so we probably missed whatever part you are talking about. If you couldn't get through it, then there's no way I'd have gotten through it stock. I did the rest though. Can't do the Red stock without some serious tub damage. LOL But that Green... Man I love that trail. I like how technical it is up into the windy hills and all that. It's awesome. ALL the XJ's that went through the Green with us the last time took body damage. The TJ's squeezed through unscathed. The Badlands kicks ***.
