Mid arms arn't a real thing. Mid arm is a term created by Rock Krawler's marketing guys. Arms are considered long arms when they have mounts that are located more towards the center of the Jeep's frame (front to rear center) So what I am saying is if they don't come with new mounts then they arn't long arms.
To answer your question Wrang. No, long arms would not be overkill for you. When you increase lift height your arms sit at a more intense angle. Long arm mounts would make them sit more parallel which would improve your ride quality.
So they are not needed by any means but if you have the extra coin laying around then theres nothing wrong with getting them.
Gotcha. That makes sense.
As for "arent they the same thing?" I was asking if Currie arms and Evo arms are the same thing. Color me ignorant.
I understand the physics behind the arm angles, the lift causing the angle to be sharper changing the geometry of the natural center. Longer, more centered arms would correct that harshness but I was not sure of what a short arm, mid arm and long arm was in terms of difference. Thanks for clearing that up, guys! Marketing hype can be a pain to filter.
I'd rather invest in long arms versus a geometry correction bracket such as AVE sells. :yup:
