they are sand tires, but they have good road manners, suprisingly good in the rocks actually so long as they arent wet, and they are pretty awesome in dry, powdery snow.

wet snow, mud and the rain they are a nightmare.

most of the time i have no issue with them.

and now that i look at it the control arms are longer than stock but idk if they are as long as typical stock control arms. but thats what i would do if you want it low and stable

thats a lot of $$$ just for the rear! what about the front?

[kracker]

are radius arms any good? will they hold up? what about Clayton?

[kracker]

not to sound like a cheapskate but couldnt i just fab up my own arms?

yes

i would stay with the 4" coils and just make your long arms
i have 4.5" coils with 36" tires and i like it. when i had 3" coils on my front control arms hit the frame b4 full compression.

i've been down this road. get 44's out of a waggy (chromo shafts if you break a lot), 4.88 - 5.13 gears and detroits. 4" long arm, some triming... and MOVE THE REAR AXLE BACK b4 you get a d-shaft in the rear. move the tank in the back like i did or if you want the rear seats get a gen right tank, they are $$ but ive seen them in my friends jeep and they work good and you can move the rear back ~ 5 inches without comp cutting and you get a damn good wheelbase. oh and get a high clearance skid, the stock ones are low

after running it i would not set up my jeep with stockish wheelbase with 36" tires again. let me know if you need any other advice..

mines:


oh, and an anti-rock front sway bar does wonders for stability

waggy axles are a great upgrade i hear, and i know where you could score a decent set of those for around 5 to 600

It says theyre longer than stock but when you look in the pics they arent as long as the clayton long arms and stuff....

I didn't say it was cheap lol but the Rough country one is pretty cheap....

and you could always make or buy control arms for that kit....
