building long arm....???

ok so i really need to build a longarm for my cherokee. :repair: i have 7.5" of lift and the shortarm hits my shock brackets and wraps the axle forward...whats the best way to do build a long arm setup??? it seems like i wouldnt be able to just lengthen the lower arms without modifying the top arm correct??? and once i do a longarm what keeps the axle from dropping too far and spitting my springs? do i install limiting straps??? if someone could direct me in the right direction on this it would sure help. thanks a million!!!! :us: :cheers:

just buy the lower control arm drop brackets that a few people sell. That will stop the lowers from hitting the shock brackets. Look into just buying a long arm kit. I dunno how much they cost tho. I built my own.
