A JK long arm kit is used to modify off-roading vehicles like Jeeps so that the vehicles ride smoother and sustain less damage. Premium-quality JK long arm kits are not standard on any vehicle with 4-wheel drive, which is why it is necessary to purchase the kits separately and have a professional mechanic install them for you. Here are some reasons why and some benefits of a long arm kit.
Off-Roading Damages Suspension and Engine Block
Rocks and tough terrain are extremely abusive to the underside of an off-roading vehicle. Suspension as well as the engine block can encounter frequent batterings as the wheels of the vehicle rock side to side going over rocks and boulders. Although this seems counterintuitive for a vehicle that is supposed to go off-road, it is exactly what happens.
Repeated Repair to the Underside of the Vehicle Is Common
If you have had a Jeep or other 4-wheel drive vehicle that you take off-roading regularly, you may have noticed frequent repairs. This is not uncommon, and not unlikely to continue. A long arm kit can prevent many of the repairs and damaged parts.
Smooth, Effortless Ride With Zero Destruction
The biggest benefit of installing a long arm kit on your suspension system is that the vehicle doesn’t rock and roll hard as you take it over rocky territory. Instead, the suspension locks in place and only allows for gentle movement. Less dropping and rolling means other areas of your vehicle will not be damaged either.
