Default Superflift vs Teraflex

I know Teraflex is rated one of the best lifts out there(I love em!), but was wondering what people thought if I went with a 4" Superlift, ditched the cam bolts, and went with 4 or 8 Teraflex flexarms to save a little cash overall?

The 4" Superlift is approx half the cost of the TF 4" Lift and I'd still need to spend extra $$$ on control arms & eventually a new driveshaft. I have a 4-door. Thoughts?

I had a 4 inch Superlift on my old 2 door and never had a problem with it.

I have the superlift and I need new drive shafts and control arms. Other than that, absolutely no issues, and flexes really well. I definitely ditched the cam bolts as well

If you already plan on replacing the shafts and CAs, I say do it

Yup, and that is without installation. I love my LCA 3" lift, but I paid through the nose for it, and I did not even buy the bump stops!

If I could afford a $3K+ lift, I wouldn't be asking about saving some bucks by using Superlift with some Teraflex flexarms... otherwise I'd just buy a complete TF kit.

I'm partial to Teraflex, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with Superlift. They've been around a long time. Pull the trigger.

Just met a guy who's buddy worked at 4wheelparts for like 20 years & said the only kit that's never gone back for service, out of all the kits on the market, is TERAFLEX.

I'm looking at the 4" lift w/ shocks, coils, & 4 flex arms(maybe 8 if I scrounge up more $$$). Now, where should I get my driveshaft replacement from? Woods?
