I think the full lengths go back to the torque box, not sure, im sure they are worth the extra money, also you should look into the cross/seat brace set,

you should just paint them yourself, mine were black but after welding they had inperfections, and little rust within a couple days so i hit it with some black rustoleum under my car, they look good, and no more rust, I say go for the full lengths though.

I say go for the full-length, as well.

I have the Global West full length sub-frame connectors and am very happy with them. They seem to impress those that have never seen the full-length ones, too!

Mine came powdercoated. Unless you get some satisfaction from painting them yourself, I say get them powdercoated/painted already.

Good luck!

I have the MM full lengths with the seat braces. Do yourself a favor and don't get the powdercoated ones. They cost more money to buy, then before they're welded the paint needs to come off of parts that will be welded anyways, so then it costs more (if you're installing them yourself, then it's just more of a PITA) to install them, and you have to repaint pieces of it anyways after it's installed.
