    AB,

    I dont have anything too wild on mine, but 3" lift springs, with some good Koni's, Panhards, Drop Boxes, and some good quality Superior adjustable upper and lower arms on the rear, and I'm sure you would be happy....with less cost...

    I dont have the adjustable rear arms yet, but mine is pretty good in the GU

    Mic
    GU PATROL 2011 Ti, with goodies...

    I'm pretty sure it says on the superior site that the flat one needs a 2" body lift if put on a wagon.

    Now there's a splendid idea. I'd buy one of those

    It does, also says the bolt on kit may not work with some long range tanks

The rear on a wagon is a little different, as the wheel is pushed into the guard it is pushed rearward and will mostly touch with 35's so it may need a trim. Also long arms lessen the effect of rear steer when you start to chase better suspension travel. Long arms really are that good (for a bolt on application).
    I had to beat the back of my front guard in with my 4 inch lift and if I had a 3 inch lift it would hit at the front of the guard on full up travel, and the leafs are going to move on a different axis too.

    There is only a couple of degrees difference in the amount of rear steer, between long and short arms

    Yeah. There must be slight differences between each vehicle. My old GQ ran 2" suspension and 2" body lift with 35's without an clearance issues, maybe the body lifts is what the difference is in my case.

    As for the rear steer, is this at the same travel as the shorter arms? Or just overall?

    Yeah I think body lift my have something to do with it.

    Well as far as I can see with the same travel. But the angle of the lower link is no where near as steep. The big difference is the anti squat % and location of the instant centre and the performance and handling inprovments over stock that they bring
