JLUR 3.5" Long Arm RK or EVO?

[Rock Krawler Suspension]

Here is 2 pictures I had in my phone where you can see the rear long arm mounts.

Picture 1 has the Adventure Series Long arm and you can see the bolt heads of both the uppers and lowers in the photo. the bracket hangs roughly 3" below the frame. It isn't the best photo but it's what I have handy.

Picture 2 has the Adventure X Long arm and you can see the bracket doesn't hang below the frame at all.

I’m getting great flex out of the xfactor, I’m just trying to determine what the other benefits would be.

The biggest benefits are increased front and rear control arm clearance, rear axle shock mount clearance (with the Adventure X), better anti-squat/roll center and smoother ride. I’m very happy with my setup, but yours seems to be treating you well, nice flex by the way.

I love my x factor mid arm kit, but man sometimes long arms are tempting. May be after axles and coil overs.

Here’s a few crappy pics. Wifey drove the Jeep to work today, so snapped these in the garage before she left.

Most people have spare kidneys. You can build one heck of a jeep for one of those kidneys.

Oh, and if you zoom in on the rear LCA mount, you can see I’ve slid this over rocks already. I’ve got a nice dent in the exhaust resonator too. Nice hard trail with some big rocks.

Good, rock rash adds character.

Maybe if you did a half off sale I could keep my organs.........

In addition to RK products being bad ass, Evo seems to be having a bit of a powder coating issue. Look around these forums and there are lots of issues with rust and powder coating falling off. I have a set of shakle mounts on the front of my jeep made by Evo and the powder coat was garbage, i poured a bunch of powder coat chips out of the box they came in and had to hose them down with rattle can to make them not look like garbage. Im not bashing Evo, they make good products from what ive seen, but there does seem to be an ongoing problem with their powder coat process.

Apparently the scalp is also worth alot of money. If I sell mine to buy a long arm kit will you send me a hat?

Though not a JLUR, my JLR has a RK 3.5 inch lift with ong arm in the back, mid arm in the front. (i.e., T-Rex)
Works really well along with the 37's

Really like the ride quality since there is a long arm system in the back.
Just my $0.015 worth

I'm sure we can make that work. We will need photos for proof though.
