Short Arm Kits
What is a short arm kit? A short arm kit is a suspension system that typically utilizes the factory mounting points on the axles and the chassis for your control arms. These types of kits can use OEM control arms, heavy duty fixed length arms, heavy duty adjustable arms, OR any combination of these options. Short arm kits are the easiest system to install and upgrade, and are very versatile. These systems are best used in 0–4.5” lift range, depending on the vehicle. From daily driving to overlanding to light rock crawling, these kits transform your Jeep into a swiss army knife. With a low purchase price and fantastic performance gains over stock, these are a great bang for the buck!
