Teraflex 3" with Sport arms, HD Overland springs and Falcon 2.1 shocks...reviews?
I'm looking at putting a 3in TeraFlex lift in my Jeep to replace my rock krawler suspension. Curious what kind of experiences people have had with a Falcon 2.1 shocks. With the way the body is inverted and the shaft is at the top, I'm wondering if the body gets crushed when it takes hits from rocks, or if it tends to get hit. Would the Fox 2.0s be a better option? I've been recommended to get the Teraflex HD Overland springs. What do they ride like? Will my jeep ride like a tank without weight in it?

We have a '14 with the Sport arms and a '18 with the Alpine arms, both with the 3.3 shocks. The '14 is our crawler and they've taken every hit for 2+ years and still look good. They do make a skid if you're too worried.
I ran the FOX 2.0 before them, I like the Falcons better.
No experience with the overland coils.

To make a long story short, the weather and shit they put on the roads here didnt mix well the the heim joints, Krawler joints, or any of the adjustable pieces. All thats left is the springs and rear track bar mount. I don't have time to do the amount of Maintenance that would be required to continue running heim joints or krawler joints, plus I live in a strata complex that doesn't really permit mechanical work.
Don't get me wrong, I was happy with my RK stuff while it lasted, and if I lived in a different climate I would be all over putting it back in along with the upper four arms. I even tried to find some OEM Style joints that I could thread into my RK arms as I had them sandblasted and powder coated. Unfortunately I couldn't be sure and anything I found would actually fit, and I've decided to try something different.
