i have seen all of these in person and on the trail and can tell you that all of them good long arm kits. is there something specific you would like to know? also, how big of a tire are you planning on running?

the teraflex system is real nice and, so long as you can weld, is a real easy install. i see no reason why it couldn't work on a crd.

FYI a additional bracket will be coming out soon and better instructions. Too many shops are not welding hot enough or welding enough contact points between the bracket and the frame. I have the 2nd TeraFlex LA kit that was made, and so far all my brackets are fine 38,000 miles later.

Re: long arm upgrade....
The full traction kit is a complete bolt on kit. We use existing holes in the frame to line up the long arm brackets. You simply bolt the bracket in place and drill out the holes. If you have any questions send me a pm.

this is a total newbie question, but why a long arm upgrade? I have upgraded my springs, shocks, bump stops, relocated track bars, new adjustable trackbars for recenter, and sway disconnects...runnign 35s with a 4" lift. I know all that remains for a full suspension mod is the control arms, but I really dont understand the benefit other than to adjust the geometry...I know this is probably a opinion question, but is it worth the money? Perhaps I am being ignorant to the real upsides to replacing the control arms. Help for a dummy?
