I have seen them on one jeep. and Currie sells them. what are the + - of running this setup. where the control arm runs under the axle. or what flipping them over. So the control arm runs parallel to the frame rail then down. I am thinking of the rear axle not the front.

i know the arms you are talking about. the currie ones dont seem worth it to me i mean they will hurt ground clearance and get beat to shit. as far as arms running parrallel to the frame then turning down, you will need enuff clearance for uptravel.

It seems if you were going to the trouble to cut off axle mounts and relocate them, you could weld mounts farther up the frame to accomidate longer arms. This would work much better.

It seems as if it is to reduce the break over angle.

I am going to longer arms. just wanted to get what someone else thought of the J arms. gimmic or worth the hassel. I am sticking a 9" under the heep. so The brackets are still to be welded on. I could swap them to the trailing side of the axel tube and J bend the longer arms. but if it aint worth it.

What about going over the tubes? or is the coil assembly in the way?
