What do longer arms do for you? You are coming at it from the direction that one needs a longer arm equivalent to the length commonly used on a long arm kit. Why do you think you need an arm that long?
I am actually coming at it from a different direction altogether. I am working the 4-link calculator and trying to get the anti-squat to be as close to 100% as possible. I know that this is a single metric and perhaps not the holy grail but I am focused on it the most because it appears to be the metric that I can change the easiest. That being said, my axle mounting points are fixed. I have committed myself to 37" tires and I have 4.5" springs. The CG Height is what it is (assuming around 34" for my TJ) and that leaves placement of the frame side mounts as the only variables. So the longer the arms, the closer I get to 100%. Shorter arms yield me a higher percentage. So in a nutshell, that's why I'm advocating for longer arms. But I'm definitely not a suspension expert and am trying to get an answer as to why I might prefer a shorter arm. For example, I could see that have shorter lowers keeps the links out of the rocks and shorter uppers might triangulate the axle a little better and prevent it from wandering at higher speeds?
