You may remember I fitted 35" maxxis to my xj with 4" lift by cutting and bump stops.
Well heres an update Im ripping it all out and installing tnt longarm kit (1st in Austalia) with a rustys 6.5" kit
So far all the fronts out and tnt skid installed. Finally cut off the upper control arm brackets what a pain in the arse that was!!!!!

Really? Why?

They both have thier perks.

TnT - high clearance and skid

FT - True 4 link and better joints (if you have the new stuff)

just to name a few for both.
 
Just looked full traction site there kit looks good.
T&T belly plate has transfer case skid plate built in.
long arm joints tuck up real high good clearance!

What is your reasoning behind this statement? TnT uses RE joints which seem to be working fine on my rig.

Is that because Full Traction is nothing more than Cal-Mini... They suck at customer service I know...

I also like the TNT kit, it looks like its not too bad to install either.. Good Job Wolfe...

Daym is that some hostility there? Geesh :us:
 
The joints are strong, it rides good, and it will fully open and close the 6.5" Krawler coils.

I would prefer the TnT to decrease turn radius and have a belly skid, anyone not building their own skid or sliders is screwed trying to match anything up with these mounts.

Also a frame lift is scary trying to get the front fingers between my lower arms and the frame.
