Works great if you do a rear mounted tank.
Would love to see it all put together!
I have the Metalcloack lock-n-load with the rear long-arms.
Who's doing long arms this winter? We've got a build coming up that can't decide between the RT3 and the metalcloack Lock-N-Load!

The low hanging rear brackets on the MC long arm are what got me looking for a design that had more clearance. I saw an Evo long arm that had the brackets along the side of the frame. But it was a weld-on kit. I ended up ordering the Artec bolt-on, but the tech said it should be welded as well.I have the Metalcloack lock-n-load with the rear long-arms.
If I had to do it again, I'd go with the 4-link long arms. Articulation is just as good and you don't have to mess with tightening and loosening the radius-arm lock-n-load shock every time.
Also, don't go with the DB3 drop brackets. They catch on everything. Just bite the bullet and do the long arms.
Overall very happy with the performance - articulation is definitely not my limiting factor these days.
Each morning I get up and come to this forum with anticipation thinking today is the day! Today is the day I get to see a write up with many many pics of your Artec long arm install. Maybe tomorrow will be that day.
Yeah, someday I'm going to end up under the new patio my wife has been wanting.
Yup - valid concern. Long arm brackets don't hang as low as the DB3 but still stick out. Easier to manage since it's closer to the center of the Jeep and as long as you can get the obstacle on the lower control arm you can slide along that.

Tell me about it. I love threads like this, because it's all my Jeep dreams, summed up into one very large $30,000 purchase!
I 100% agree, the short wheelbase with long arms is the perfect combination for a trail monster!
Such a cool picture! Nothing is better than the look of shiny new parts!I’m running the Rock Krawler X Factor X2 long arm kit with my MetalCloak springs and track bars. Love the high clearance bent control arms. I’d much rather miss the hang up altogether than slid on low hanging arms and brackets.
We're more than happy to make those dreams come true for you! Even if it's a slow build over time we will make it happen.Tell me about it. I love threads like this, because it's all my Jeep dreams, summed up into one very large $30,000 purchase!
