theres really only two options in the NAC. leave the jeep as a budget small beater and wheel the piss outta it as is. Or, chop it all up and toss 1tons and big tires and other bling parts at it.
3 link vs Radius arm build

don't be like the people who dump thousands into their jeeps having never wheeled, then realize that they don't like it or its expensive and sell everything for pennies on the dollar.

x2 with Billy.
People also forgot you need money for gas and sometimes entrance fees to wheel.
And money when you break shit.

3" 33's had like 3500 into it including the jeep, 80% of the parts were bought used off of other nac members parted it out and got 2k back
build somthin small and simple first, but it seems to me like you have alot of other issues before even thinking about long arms

Listen to these guys but especially Ktmracer!
Seriously, I don't even agree with myself most days...
x3
Spending money doesn't make the sport fun, actually getting out and wheeling is what it's about. Or so I've heard.

Yup.
I was a puddle jumper wearing out 260x joints with a front locker. Never took it really wheeling and I couldn't keep the joints alive.

8.25 is almost ready to go in
260 joints are being removed and fast.
Got it under control. Kinda.
Radius arms seem easier to tuck up to stay low

If you inboard the body mounts and tuck them up they can be. Otherwise mid arms would be easier to package.
Do you have a pic of some?
I know what you mean, but I am trying to keep it tucked in

What benefit do you expect to gain by doing any of this suspension stuff?
Welding skills
Little better performance on road better off road
Not doing a bolt on like my idiot of a friend.
Being the test guy for some friends who want to do a linked setup or radius arm setup
I'm running Clayton longarms and 33's on 3" of lift and love it. Just used longer shocks with dropped lower mounts for the droop. Drives great on the road, wheels just fine on trutracs. And I don't even use the fun pedal, ask these guys, they know.
Radius arms tuck fine with little lifts.
