Anyone have this on their rig? I keep going back and forth of witch long arm kit to order. I like the TNT kit but that unloading on hills sounds like a pain! I just came across this and wanted to hear your thoughts on it..


Rock Krawler is proud to bring you the XJ Triple Threat Long Arm Upgrade. The Triple Threat Systems are the most versatile systems ever made for Cherokee XJ’s! These systems feature a front end design that can function as a full 4 link for high speed fun in the sand or the extremely flexy independent 3 link for extreme trail use! The best part is you get to choose! . All Rock Krawler upper control arms are full length! No short or mid length upper control arms with compromised geometry. Our geometry is perfect in every way. Our high clearance lower control arms are made of 2” solid alloy steel and use 1” shank Monster Krawler joints at the axle connection and the industry’s largest bushing at the frame connection for the quietest ride quality out of any suspension system on the market. We have even included a new heavy duty passenger side axle mount made of 1” thick alloy steel and 2 build a ball joints for the upper control arm pivots at the axle. No need to worry about wearing out the stock front upper control arm axle bushings since they have been replaced! The new long arm mounts are made from 3/16" thick laser cut steel and are precision welded. Simply put, we feel this is the strongest, most versatile and most capable Long Arm Upgrade system ever made. Rock Krawler also backs that up with our Abuse Proof Lifetime Guarantee on all hard parts!
System Benefits:
-The best highway ride and handling out of any long arm system!
-Versatile 3 link or 4 link front end geometry.
-High clearance lower control arms made from abuse proof 2” solid alloy steel!
-Bolt in long arm mounts made from 3/16 thick laser cut steel and precision welded.
-Limited Lifetime Warranty!
System Includes:
2 high misalignment/adjustable lower long arms made from 2.0" solid alloy steel, long arm brackets made from 3/16" thick/laser cut steel, 2 adjustable front upper torque arm made from solid alloy steel, 1 heavy duty passenger side axle mount, 2 build a ball assemblies, hardware and detailed instructions.

*Available for any axle combination

**Requires welding of the crush sleeves to the frame and removal of the OEM lower control arm brackets. The long arm brackets themselves bolt into position.

***Using the front end as a full 4 link system may require full manifold back exhaust modifications.

****To use as a full 4 link the OEM passenger side front upper control arm axle mount will need to be removed and the newly supplied mount welded in its place.
 
i run the 3 link and would highly recommend it to anyone who actually wheels their jeep. it rides super smooth on the road and flexes like mad on the trail. also its beef!!! never have had trouble for the year that i've been beating it. looks like they did change the brackets though mine are 1/4". personally i recommend welding the brackets on not bolting. bolting is not nearly as strong. also if you dont have frame stiffeners now is the time to do it. i was stupid and didnt do mine till after my long arm brackets were welded on.
 
I wanted to bring up this thread again to see if there was any one using this kit.

Does anyone know how much fab work is required for the rear conversion? I know the clayton kit requires a lot of cutting on the unibody, but I can't find any instructions for this kit.


I am possibly going to be getting a 2wd xj that I want to make into a go fast so the 4link front option would be awesome and the rear coils will help a lot...
 
Do you have to weld in the crush sleeves? i don't have access to a welder. :( is it possible to get by without doing that?
