Please email price requests back channel! That's why I linked it to my forum and not directly to my sales site. Not sure what the "1990" is??

Does that kit use their #3780 "Superflex" UCA or is it shorter?

The new arm they use is the same size but uses rubber bushings to compensate for the binding issues.

Woddy.

part number for the upper arms is 4020. CRASH is dead on. Same as a 3780 but with a rubber bushing. Just like the TJ long arm set up.

CRASH,

"custom" RE long arm. right? :D

I have a quick question...
From the photo, it looks as if the LA sticks down as far as the DBs do for the other 5.5" kit. If this is the case, what is the advantage of the LA kit since it's an extra $500-600? It doesn't look as if you'll gain any gound clearence. Just the flex or ???

flex
