Installed my custom front long arm suspension (pics)
Did my install this weekend, this is 4.5" lift and 32's...
Big problems now are too much travel, need to bump stop the front for uptravel or trim more. I also need longer shocks, they limit downtravel at this point.

P.S. Hopefully picking up an XJ D44 rear tomorrow!!

I think that the lower arms are 3' long before notching (I can confirm that if it helps you). Also the upper link tabs are welded onto the links at a 55 degree angle. The upper strap needs to be set on at a little of an angle to clear the housing of the differential. Mine was welded on straight (the original design) and i had to grind a little to make it clear.

Re: Installed my custom front long arm suspension (pics)
I thought you already had that installed? I'd like to see more pics if you have them. I'd also like to see pics after you upgrade the shocks. Aren't the shocks what stops the suspenion down-travel on those? 
I know on mine if I disco the sway and shocks I can jack up the body and the springs will pop right out.
