If you were going to spend your money on a 4" long arm kit, which would you
buy? I'll be doing a lot of highway driving with this, but I want to start
getting into some more "hardcore" offroad driving now that time and money are
permitting. What are my choices out there for 4" lift kits with long arm
conversions? Anyone recommend any? Got any links for detailed installs with
pictures? (Bill?)

I'll probably miss one along the way, but to date Rubicon Express, Teraflex,
Skyjacker and Fabtech have 4" and greater long arm kits out, and Currie has
a "triangulated" kit that's fairly radical.

Folks who've installed the RE and Tera kits seem very satisfied. I'm not
familiar with the Skyjacker but I'd expect their kits to be very good as
well.

I haven't heard any negatives re: running these kits on the street. Perhaps
someone here who's got one installed can comment.

There's also the Full Traction 6" with a 3-link rear. I've been looking
at that one, but haven't yet made the plunge. Anyone know anything about
it?

I don't know about the 6", but one of the guys in my club bought the 4" full
traction and had several parts break on him. He was less than impressed.
I don't know what parts, but I don't feel that any suspension parts should
break!

I was talking about Full Traction, not RE. I've never known anyone to have
anything other than good results from RE.
