Longarm builds?

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!

Let's make it happen! Just in time for some spring off-roading!

We will have plenty haha! Why not take the leap? Long arms have alot of benefits especially when it comes to off-roading

I just added a full RK 3.5 Adventure X lift. If I went to long arms right now you might see my wife being interviewed on one of those homicide shows saying, he just left one day and I can’t imagine what could have happened to him.

Dexter Morgan always got out of it somehow, so you've got a shot!

LOL I might be more than a little biased. but our 4 link long arms do work great.

It's okay to be biased, especially when it looks that good!

I have an Artec long arm on order. Should come in soon.

Need to see some 2drs on a long arm kit! But long arm Jeeps look absolutely filthy!

I'd pick metalcloak over teraflex every time, but the 2 kits you link are not comparable. The metalcloak kit you linked is a half assed long arm at best. The front radius arms, even with their disconnecting link to help with the binding when flexing it out, just won't flex like a true 4 link long arm. The rear in that kit is just short arms and drop brackets. The teraflex actual long arm kit will easily outperform that kit as it's got legit long arms upper and lower, front and rear. That's also why it's $2k more. I'd go with metalcloaks real 4 link long arm kit 1st, but if I had to pick between the 2 kits you listed I'd go teraflex.

Did you consider Rock Crawler 3 link long arm?

RK long arm w/ 3 link rear… I know I don’t have a horse in the race, but chiming in on long arms in general….. Love it…great on road ride, and very flexy…....

I opted for a high clearance kit since I’ll likely stay no taller than a 38 on my D44s… On 40s the low hanging fruit is more of a non issue…. Everyone has their own opinions and preferences but I like only having the diffs to worry about….lol…

Of the two choices I’d do Teraflex…Even though I’m a fan of MetalCloak, ( great company, great products) I’m not a fan of the Locck-n-load….
