As a few of you learned Sara really wants me to get the TJ fixed... so this will be a place to start discussion.
1.) SMike- after installing a pre-made long arm lift on a TJ.. how hard do you think it would be to make our own? I currently have 2 brand new adjustable short arm lower links and 2 used "non-adjustable"i.e. rusted solid short arm lower links all with bushing on each end.

im not sure i understand what your trying to ask... i thought your issue was a case install? :)
-
think he wants case and long arm install...
-
doing something like what keith or nick has on the front would be way easier than trying to copy a bolt on long arm kit...
your talking money in parts before we get into labor though...
-
mainly just asking is it worth(time & $) trying to build a long arm lift from scratch compared to buying one off the shelf and installing.
I am afraid of what I am going to find once we start the case swap so I sorta want to be prepared.
-
rule of thumb, anything you can find on the internet as far as bolt on lift / bumpers / sliders / is always cheaper than doing custom one off work... just how it goes.
Free labor when working on your own rig is the only way its cheaper....

I just did a quick price at
Rusty's TJ Wrangler Long Arm High_Clearance Upgrade $1,350.00 includes arms and new belly pan
Extended Brake Lines - Stainless Steel $89.00
shocks - Profender $200.00
-
I know a guy at Profender that could work a deal on those shocks. :)

I sorta figured but atleast wanted to get a baseline cost without bugging you

that kit right there is 400$ in rod ends / bushings, and about 300$ in 1/4" plate and 2x2x1/4" square
