    Now i have no clue what to do about a long arm setup. I dont really want the radius arms because off unloading but i figure i can just run straps.

      I could never figure out the radius arm unloading thing. Of all the time I wheeled my jeep with them, I never had a problem.
      If you really dont want them, but they kit and clearance the floor. It cant be too bad. If they are designed to fit a 35" tire, and will clear until the tire touches the fender, than it doesnt matter if its 4.5 or 6.5". Same uptravel.

        this makes sense. bumpstopped should prevent any floor clearence issues.
        and with the 35s i could have maybe 3 inches of uptravel. idk. ill have to figure it out. i wouldnt mind having the radius setup. its still a long arm. from what i understand the 3 link doesnt have the binding radius has so therefore flexes more freely? correct?

          Correct. No binding with a 3 link. There are some other advantages as well

              That is probably the most useful thing youve ever said on this forum matt.

                this is also VERY tempting.

                  I'm sure there is some very good, well thought out reasoning behind that too...

                    I dis not read dans post below this but if you ever watched him wheel with radius arms and 35's you would just get radius arms..... That's why I built mine

                      I ran my radius arm setup for awhile and liked it.
                      I built a 3 link when i went to 1 tons similar to that clayton setup except I had the upper link on the passenger side (I would think that you would have serious clearance issues in a lower lift cherokee with the driveshaft and the upper link) and it drove the same as it did with the radius arm setup. I have no beef at all with a radius arm.
