hey wild... I would like to see your rig if you don't mind. Not sure if I have seen it?

Man, if you have the cash, get the long arms. Otherwise you will always wonder what your missing. I had bought a full traction long arm, but I decided to sell it instead of installing. I am glad I did. After seeing both arms, the Tera arms are way nicer in my opinion. FT and others are just now starting to catch up to the bushing style tera has been using. Joe @ Teraflex is very active on this site and is very knoledgable if you need help from him.

ya it looks pretty bad... I have people walk up to me all the time and tell me how horrible it looks. Seriously, you didn't offend me.

Ya, new driveshafts are needed for any kit that tall in a 2 door. Rears because of the pinion angle, fronts if you ave an auto. And of course you will want to regear.

call david at northridge. He sells tera kits cheaper than tera does. He also has free shipping and great customer service. He has JE Reels, and coast drivelines. Maybe he can save you a couple bucks if you buy it all at once. BTW, I am running old man emu long travel shocks. My driveshafts are JE reels. If you go with larger tires than 35s, you are gonna need flat fenders or extended bumpstops or a body lift or something.

Have you regeared your axles yet?

I had 4.10s stock. I used to have 33s with them, and it wasnt too bad. The 35s and 4.10s were horrible to me. Slow strained take off, and O/D was worthless. Ig you go over 33s you are gonna want deeper gears. Do some research on this and see if a local shop will let you drive one with 4.88 or 5.13s. If you go 4.10s you will never see 6th gear again. Stock ratios are closer to 5.13s for 37s and 4.88 for 35s. You may want to ask around about it.

Good luck, post photos as you go!

I have found deals just as nice at Alpha Expedeition and I do belive he has free shipping as well.
