I know this has been debated but I want to see what people say all in one post and please provide your lift experiences and pictures. I am looking to go with one of the following long arm lifts out there from 3.5" to 5.5".

The brands I am narrowed down to are:

- Rubicon Express
- Full traction
- Teraflex
- Rock Krawler

If you have some other ones I should consider I am all ears.

 

2009 catalog in my sig line below. Feel free to call me and pick my brain on these kits.

 

Full traction and Teraflex are the two I would go with. Actually if you have good welding skills or a competent welder I would go Teraflex. I doubt you would be dissapointed with eitherkit, but Joe at Teraflex is super helpful and has great customer service. I have their short arm 3" and it is tough.

 

I'd go with the Full Traction Ultimate 3", WITH OUT the shocks. It's a great kit and if ya get the
OME Long Travel (shocks) from David the @ 4+" of lift you'll get from the kit will be able to
perform to it's max.

 

On the upgrade side the terafex and full traction long arm . check out some of the ORE threads if you ever want to do the coilover/lever. short arm currie,clayton or teraflex and FT

 

my 4" SA teraflex looks real nice on my 2dr. I give it two thumbs up! I can only imagine the LA would be better.

 

I vote Clayton

 

I have OME now and I had Teraflex on my TJ. I can honestly say, the OME rides no better than the Teraflex 3T kit did on my TJ. I was amazed at the quality of the ride Teraflex had.

I expected a plush ride with OME and It's a little stiff for my liking. Go Teraflex is my vote.

 

I've been curious about this too. Leaning towards FT or TF long arms.

I had a RE on my XJ and it was amazing but I haven't hardly seen anyone running them on a JK - is there a specific reason? I'll have to keep an eye on this thread

 

I'm liking both the TeraFlex and FT 4" LA's. If I can afford it these are the two that I'm debating. The FT is a complete bolt on kit and is something that I think could be tackeled on your own or with a friend if you have access to the necassary equipment. The TeraFlex kit requires you to weld on new brackets for the control arms and therefore makes the difficulty of the install more complex.

The TF kit is also cheaper than the FT for the initial cost to buy it.

Heads up to anyone looking to buy the TeraFlex Elite LCG 4" LA kit:
I recently found this kit for $2149.95 with shocks Plus shipping which is an amazing deal!
