yea re long arms are not the best . like will said the only real ways to go are clayton tnt or RK. i personally have the clayton kit beat the shitt outaa shit and it hold up great. the deciding factor on wether tnt or clayton is if u can weld. claytons is a weld on and tnt is a bolt on . rk is a weld on too . the tnt and clayton full kits cost the same RK is a good amount cheaper

well. the cheapest would be rock krawler
while best would would be one of the higher end kits, such as tnt.
you can't always have both.
But the rockkrawler is an alright kit. one thing i wish they would change about it though are: bigger grease ZERKS (they snap off if you look at them wrong) I would also get some beefier lower control arm brackets.Reason being that the stock ones are weak as hell to begin with and now you want to trust the same mounts with one less link. If you break one connecting point your not driving it home.

I have the RE 5.5" short arm kit and love it. I hope to upgrade to the TNT ylink in a year or so. I nmy opinion its about as goos as it gets.

Its $2000 or so for the Tnt kit and $1800 ish for the RE kit, may as well get both worlds and get the Tnt kit that uses Re springs and such. It would be worth waiting for the extra pay check.

i got my rockkrawler longarm from trcoffroad.com for $427 shipped
but that's just the longarm setup. not a lift kit.
I beleive the tnt longarm setup goes for around $800-$900.

well i trimmed my fenders, so the 31's already fit so if i add 3.5" or 4" of lift i can do the 33's right?
also what do you guys think about Rusty's, RE, and ProComp?
thanks

Why has no one mention clayton's long arms? they are in the same ball park as the TNT long arms? (i dont know if they come with the belly skid though?)
