  1. No you don't need that for 2.5" lift. The general rule of thumb when it comes to lift height and control arms is stock or aftermarket UCA and LCA are good to about 4" of lift , now from 4" and up yer gona want control arm drop bracket and preferably aftermarket control arms as the ride is gona suffer considerably not to mention the tire is gona get pulled closer to the bottom of the fender during flex and could make contact . Now its not uncommon to see guys running 6+ inches of lift using drop brackets and that's perfectly fine but flex is still hindered and short arms and drop brackets arnt the best for hardcore wheeling and that's when longarms come in and save the day! Now you could possibly run longarms on 2.5" of lift if you wanted to and just chop the hell out of the fenders and slap some 33" tires on there and that would keep the COG (center of gravity) low which is very good for offroading. ok so which ones are the best to get .....I'm never going to lift it any higher than it is...2-3"... i don't wanna get advance auto made in china ones

  10. The long arm setup moves the mounting point of the control arms farther back (most kits have a custom cross member incorporating the control arm mounts). Moving the arms farther back make them longer and more parallel to the ground which removes the binding that short arms cause on the suspension due to their angles from a lift. Long arms also make on-road manners a lot better due to the bumps not forcing the arms straight into the frame (the issue that short arms have), making the springs and shocks absorb and dampen the loads like they were designed to. The only issue with long arms is that once you go long arm, it's a pain to go back to short arm due to having to cut the factory lower control arm mounts off to clear the long arms. thanks
