That doesn't make any sense at all.

No it doesn't. There is no reason to waste his money on a long arm.
As someone else who has medical challenges I wish you the best of luck.
I built my TJ the first time in 2005 after being wounded in Iraq and having no weight bearing on my right leg for 6 months. So I understand the building while flat on your back.
First build I used a Nth Degree longarm. And did a V-8 swap plus changed from a manual to auto.
I also added a Off-Road Only AiRock system which is air springs that replace the coil springs. It's nice because I can lower the Jeep to it's bump stops for getting in and out easier.
Then due to nerve damage to my leg from being shot I ended up parking my TJ for 10 years. Then in 2018 I had my lower right leg amputated. I've been rebuilding it/updating it to newer standards.
So I've pulled the old V-8 and built a new one. I removed the Nth Degree tsuspension and replaced it with a Savvy midarm. I also stretched the rear 4.5" and the front about 3". The one mistake I made was not using aluminum for my armor. But I'll deal with having steel armor for now.
My suggestion is that you go out with others who have a LJ and see what setup they have and how it performs. Then decided how you what mods you want to do to your rig.
Yep, our group can be as pleasant as Pirate but there is about the same amount of knowledge and tech here. So worth putting up with the BS.

Isn't Bend (OR) in the "west coast" too? Too much rain this weekend and nothing much better to do other than start up this again?
Just where do you get all this crap from?
@LJAugie don't listen to this guy. Terribly wrong Jeep related information in this post.
@Chris you might want to keep an eye on "lightning".
Not entirely true. A 4-link triangulated rear can have better road manners than a 5-link. It’s all about the shocks and the tuning. I know this from personal experience. My TJ with the Savvy mid-arm handled night and day better than a stock TJ on-road. That’s because of the shocks and the tuning, not the amount of links.
Maybe you can explain to the class what locates both axles side to side since you are calling that a 4 link. It isn't.
If the Savvy short arm or any short arm for that matter is a 4 link according to you, what are you calling a 5 link?
We'll figure out the rest after you explain what constitutes a 5 link by your definitions.
At least you have one thing correct so far.
Wait - You thanked everyone who gave you crap, then failed to thank the only one who supported long arms?
@Chris! Cancel my account!
I’m buying a damn Subaru….
I think you meant to say a miata?
Don’t forget we are also douchebags. That has to count for something.
And dirty Duckers also!!!!!

Only some of us are douchebags....
Some reach special status and are fuckwitz's.
Thanks Blaine,
All great questions, that deserve an answer.
I would be glad the help you and your class understand the definition of 4 and 5 link suspensions, short arm vs long, high vs low CG, anti dive and shock dynamics. But first I would like to hear your definition of short arm, mid arm and long arm suspensions, low vs high CG, instant center vs CG, anti-dive relationship to handling and maybe some shock dyno charts you like so we have a defined starting point.
If you could send me a CAD file of your Savvy mid link design, I will have my team input it into Solidworks so we can animate and dissect different designs logics for your class. We can look at your Savvy design vs stock suspension vs say Bomber suspension with real math, geometry and engineering which is the only way to move suspension science forward.
Look forward to working with you.
I've played this stupid fucking game with you before Bill. Let's do it the easy way, go fuck yourself.
