maybe so but these already have lockout and are in great shape..

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..

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

if i had to build a low cog tj (and i kinda want to)

highlined
2-3" lift
2-3" wheelbase stretch at each end
shortarmed
44/60 (for 37's get 5.38's)
37" awesome tires
sex appeal

if i had to do it all again, i would have kept my damn YJ

why short over long arms?

and that rc kit is alot cheaper than i was expecting. haven't seen a tj arm kit for under 1200 before

simplicity

if i was to build it i would also raise the arms at the axle end. 2" longer arms with 2-3" of lift with the axle mounts raised will have plenty good angles with less loss of clearance

so put them on top of the axle?i like where this is going because i might be able to salvage some of this new lift kit....

couldnt i just run both 44's and maybe 36-37's?

i put the lower mounts flush with the axle tube when i build axles.

yea. you would want alloys though
