4" long arm VS AEV Highline Body Kit

[jonsolbe]

I'm looking for advice on a 4" long arm lift vs the AEV highline body kit. Both are about $2k and allow for 33"s. The AEV kit keeps a lower center of gravity, minimizes driveline angle, and the cost could be offset by selling the old hood and fenders. The lift allows greater articulation at the expense of higher center of gravity, increased drive line angles, and the need for extending brakelines, etc. Both kits could be combined in the future to allow for 36"s but which would be better to start with?

I'd do the lift first. That's just me. I like my articulation, try and keep my COG as low as possible, but you need more articulation than what is offered in stock form.

:agree:
With a long arm kit your ride off road will be a lot more smoother due to the fact that the longer travel in the long arms will take up more of the road shock and transfer less into the cab of your jeep.

I still can't get over how much a decent lift is for a TJ. Staggering.
