Has anyone done a long arm on a 2dr?

I'm waiting to see if @Metalcloak drops a lock-n-load for the 2 door.

I'll even drive my hero up for them to test fit if needed.

I emailed them last week about their kit and they said it doesnt work for 2dr applications. I've been talking to hepta mfg about their kit, probably the route I'll end up going with, just wanted to see what others have done.

Teraflex makes a 2 door long arm kit - RT3 or RT4

Yeah figured it was a no-go as is but it just came out. Going by the time I'm ready to go they'll have one for the 2 door.

Ive installed his long arm on a jlu before, the quality is really nice. I think i'm going to go 3 link in the front and stay with a 4 link in the back, not really sold on the 3 link in the rear

When you say 3-link, do you mean two LCAs and a triangular UCA?
The beauty of a triangular UCA would be the elimination of the track bar. Would need stout Heim joints, but it sure would handle better.

Did they give you good information on this working for a 2 door? Because everything on that link makes it look like it's for JLU only.

i contacted metal cloak aswell. seems like there isnt enough space under the 2 door for a long arm kit. best they offer is a mid arm which is basically a short arm but slightly longer lol

I believe the main issue that companies are encountering is due to the location of the 2 door gas tank. I've seen an evo long arm kit installed by relocating the gas tank with the motobilt tank.

yeah I know I'll have to do a motobilt tank for sure to make room. Yeah I just seen exodus4x4 post on instagram about an evo high clearance triangulated rear long arm, cant seem to find it on evo's site though.

Old video but I think the JL front geometry is pretty great, its really the back end that needs help especially on the 2 doors. If synergy ever brought this kit to market, that would have been the way to go for me. Otherwise I am just considering getting the Metalcloak rear long arm kit and welding the bracket to my frame to avoid any bolts that would run into the gas tank. But that's a next year project if it happens at all.
