I am now down to either the 4" Long Arm or 4" Short Arm. There is a relatively large price difference, but both require moving the exhaust, an SYE, and longer drive shaft.
So it comes down to ride. Long arm "better than stock" (Full Traction's comment) but the biggest criticism on the boards is getting hung up on rocks. Short arm does not get hung up on things, and according to Full Traction, delivers a stock ride.
My budget points me towards the short arm, and while I am on dirt every week, I don't do a lot of rock crawling per se. However, I do a lot of highway driving getting around the desert. So having at least stock ride and handling is critical. However, if the handling is marginal, then it is better to make it hurt in the wallet and get what I need.
So does anyone have the Full Traction 4" Short Arm? Do you like its handling characteristics? Would you get it again? Or any 4"ish short arm system?
Last comment - I'll be running on either Bridgestone or BFGoodrich 33s.
Thanks...
