1999 Sahara on 31s with no lift. DD / hunting rig / overlander. "Overlander" meaning 5-6 day trips once or twice a year that generally consist of logging roads with mild rocks (never personally needed by passenger to get out and spot). Also done some powerline roads in Lolo Pass near Mount Hood that were a bit more technical.
My question to all of you knowledgeable people is: Would it be substantially beneficial for someone with my rig (no lift) and my use (see above) to install a mid arm or long arm on my ride to improve handling and comfort? Poorly paved roads in my area make for a pretty bumpy ride, and I'm considering options to amend that. Also, would either of these options make a difference in how my Jeep rides on wash board roads? Those generally kick my butt (literally) as well. I'm also concerned that the loss of under carriage clearance as a result of either of these options could be a big no no since I'm already on the low side with my stock height springs.
Have not put much thought into this yet, so any and all advice or wisdom you can provide is appreciated.
