@wkruger i have the TDK Hybrid short arm. It rides like my LJ… a properly setup leaf spring suspension can ride well. I am not going to say one is better because it depends on the situation.
If you go hybrid you are basically going with a TJ suspension and axles. As mentioned, transfer case flip because the axle drop is different. But axle width is a consideration along with wheel, bolt pattern, cross over vs inverted Y steering, etc. the Hybrid takes more money, time, research than I even expected. I enjoy building Jeeps, this is a big decision for your build as it sets a course… kinda like the foundation on a house.
