A lot depends on why you are wanting to install them. Are you having flightiness or it is not tracking like you wish? I guess what I am asking is, do you need them?

In my case, I drove my '08 on the Teraflex 2 1/2" for about 9 months before deciding to justify it. I installed adjustable track bars when I installed the lift, and it drove pretty good. I was happy with it. I noticed in time, after the honeymoon of the lift was fading some annoying trates it had, like flightiness at speed and twitchy steering.

I install just front LCA's and could not believe the difference! I bought Rock Krawler LCA's and installed them as they directed for my lift, I can't remember what length they told, me but I believe it was 1/8" longer than stock, it was right on.

So, if you feel you can improve on your Jeeps handling, go for it, for me, it was worth it!
