Rusty's Long Arm Upgrade?
Rubicon Express Long Arm Upgrade?

Im going to get one of the two but am undecided. They look like they are very compatable to eachother what do you think?

I would go for the TNT kit but i dont like the t-case drop that is required.

What do you not like about RE's? (Just Curious)

Ramsey · Jun 6, 2005

how it mounts. i cant hardly remember, but someone posted it up when it first came out and it seemed it hung down quite a bit and a few other things. i would have to look again before i could really point anything out. i just dont think you can go wrong with the tnt kit. if all that is holding you back is the t-case drop, call them and see if they can make you one without it.

what are your concerns about the drop??...you still gain an inch of ground clearance even with the drop (that helps with driveline angles...by the way)

What's not to like? You don't lose any clearance by having it. Not my pictures, but they show what's going on pretty well:

Stock crossmember vs. TNT crossmember:

Side shot that shows how flat the setup is:

Yeah i was wondering about that incorporated t-case drop, but doesnt loose any ground clearance so that is good. One more thing i have heard about the tnt setup is that it is a radius arm setup, which has more binding during articulation than a 3 link setup does. Anyone ever heard of this...?

You steelin my pic's Brian.

fdsa487 - The TNT kit is going to be the best long arm upgrade for you. thier crossmember is beefier than RE and TNT uses RE superflex jounts at the crossmember. You gain more clearence. An as fatwreck said you get better drivelines. MDMike had the RE long arms and upgrades to TNT kit. he likes the TNT kit better. So I dont know much about the rustys kit so I cant really compare.

ipkyss · Jun 6, 2005

Sense i was told that if i bend my arms, clayton will replace them. That made my choice a lot easier. No one else will do that. that i know of atleast.

Well i was just opposed to the t-case drob because someone told me that it could cause "shifiting in to 4WD" problems. I dont know from personal experience and im still new to the jeep thing. Does "MDMike" want to sell me his old RE kit for cheap??? I looked at the TNT kit again and now im undecided again, damnit!
