Clayton will build you any length I believe, and so will a lot of shops like BTF.

Rusty's does custom arms too, but check out Clayton if you have a little extra $$...really good stuff...the square tubing was a little odd to me at first, but it makes sense.

They are real easy to make yourself. Even take a class at the local CC and make them there.

Here's my short arms for my XJ:

I make them also, like someone said, they arent that hard if you have decent welding/fab skills, these are 2" 1/4" wall DOM with summit flex joints on both ends and made for a 4.5" lift. they are taken apart cause they were just painted

Thanks. It's stock Jeep bushings on one end using Rubicon Express Cold Cut end rings, 2x.25 square tubing (trailer hitch tubing), a round tubu adapter from Poly Performance, and the Large 1.25 inch shank Johny Joint. It might be a littl over board, bit it was left over parts from my TJ build. I had planned on long-arming the XJ, but decided to just make short arms. I can always cut, sleeve, and extend the tube to lengthen them.
