TJ long arms

[wahzoo]

Heres my problem.... I have a 97 TJ and I am goign to put some 44s under it. When I do this I want to build some long arms. My question is........ If I just cut off the factory lower mounts and fab some way back by the tranny skid will that screw up my ride? I plan on driving this alot and road maners matter a bit. I would like to run about a 4in lift and I have heard that the long arms really help. If you have any ideas\pointers I would apreciate it. I am more than confident in my welding and fab but the whole suspension geometry thing makes my brain hurt. HELP Please

Biggest thing about the long arm are the rod lengths and alingment. I would take a long look at a friends or pics form the internet and go from there. Somebody out there must have some measurements
