Default Best LA kit

I know there is a similar poll on another thread, but I wanted to do one with just LA kits.

Please include comments as to why, if you wish!!!!

I love how my JK handles with this kit on it. Plus that Monster HD Forge Trackbar in the front really tightened up the steering.

Does the Teraflex long arm kit require any welding, or is it a complete bolt on system?

Welding is required. You have to cut off all the control arm brackets. Then weld in the new ones. Very easy to place brackets in the right spots also.

I love my Rubicon Express 5.5" long arm kit. I love that it doesn't squeak like an old lady's car like the Full Traction kits do lol. Just looking at the kit you can tell that a lot of thought went into designing it. One major design i like is that unlike the majority of other long arm kits, the rear control arms mount on the side of the frame, not below it. The RE also handles awesome on and off road.

There is some cutting to do.

But this is a great lift kit!

OMFG

Where are your off road shots???!!!

Is there a clinical diagnosis of Lift Kit Envy???

Maybe a new thread???

"Show your LKE?"

And pump (no pun intended) your favorite "wish I had it" lift kit.

But get me off road shots asap.

Puhleeeze.
