I read a JPMagazine article online and from my opinion the 4" teraflex shortarm 4" kit appeared to be highly recommended. It had the best road mannerisms and virtually zero bumpsteer etc. The article is at:

This kit appears to be this one:

Here comes my question, this kit doesn't come with a steer arm relocation which moves the steering arm link from the bottom of the knuckle steer arm to above it. I have seen this which allows your steering arm link to be parallel with your track bar. This is supposed to cure death wobble and bump steer I believe.

What do you think? Do you know if this teraflex kit makes the steering arm link and track bar link parallel?

I just want a 4" kit that has excellent road mannerisms, can accomodate a 37 inch tire is extremely safe, and I dont want to have any bump steer or death wobble ever! Oh its for a 4 door unlimited.

Thanks!

The kit doesn't have any provisions to take care of this problem, however Terflex does make a add on kit to flip the drag link and lower the trackbar.

The TF 4" is very complete and handles very well.

I have the 4" system also the way the kit come from teraflex I had no problem with steering what so ever

I did upgrade to the forge trac bar for the front due to I had the 1 design trac bar with the small ball in it.

even with that I still have no problem what so ever with bumpsteer or death wobble would get the "hi steer" kit help any i dont know would it be nice to get linkage up out of the way sure

I love my 4" Tera, I got the Lower COntrol arms, I did have to get new drive shafts but those were going to have to come anyway.

Check out this thread on our new Flip kit. I had for a long time just a forged trackbar on mine and it drove great. Added this kit and it handles even better.

Joe,

Does the long arm drive better on the street compeared to the shortarm or is it just better foroff-road and flex?

Do the kits come with longer brake lines (i cant tell?) and are the brake lines stainless steel or rubber?

I want to keep by 37x12.5 tires and rims close as possible to stock (i.e. scrub radius) so that my driveability is very good. So what rim width and offset do you recommend that will not give me any rub. I dont mind doing a bit of trimming on the inside fenders or bumpers I can do that.

I plan to buy the front and rear driveshaft as wel las the flip arm and drag link kit. Do you have sales sometimes or is it possible to get a discount if I order a bunch at once? lol! hey I had to ask!

Yes the Long Arm drives/handles better on the street compared to a short arm. Also the it flex better offroad and handles great. Yes longer stainless brakelines are with the 4" kits.

I have 37x12.5x17 Cooper STT tires with rims that have 4.5" bs on them with a 17x10 wheel. I have not trim anything other than the pinch seem in front of the rear tire. Rarely have I rubbed. I love the flip kit with the Forged Trackbar/DragLink. Sorry you gotta beat up a vendor for a better price!

David I will ask you for a quote in a month or so because I see that you are from Washington. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada so you are pretty close by! I think I may not have to pay tax on your items and only at 5% duty at the border and I can drive over and pick it up myself. I think it will be worth it. Ill look into it! Thanks!
