Check your clearances very well, go to far back and you can easily hit the upper track bar frame side mount on the rear axle bump pad or tube. Be sure you have the bolt head of the upper track bar facing the front of the jeep and the thread and nut facing the rear.

I had teraflex arms for a few years and their joints fell apart and were a hassle to grease all the time and then change after about 15k (That isn't completely out of spec for them, I just didn't like messing with them). I will say the biggest design flaw was that the adjustable end was on the axle side, meaning that when water was in the tubes it would rest on the threads and I eventually had 2 arms where they rusted out and the joints ripped out of the arms...how water got in there is beyond me. They warrantied them no questions, Teraflex does have great customer service I will give them that.
I went to metalcloak and love the lack of greasing, they are noticeably softer on bumps on regular driving, and when you install them the joints aren't misaligned - something they preach in their vids about other joints being misaligned from the begining, which my teraflex were. MC arms are much less beefy than teraflex, however my teras had a clevite bushing at the frame ends which definitely bind more than the MC duroflex joint on both ends.
I would look at MC or Synergy, which uses a nearly identical joint but thicker walls. If you are in an area with rust MC's zinc coating may be worth it, another cool feature.
