am i reading correctly that you already have a TF 4" lift? if so, i would recommend that you save your money and keep what you have.

I think he's got a Frankenlift with Tera 4" coils.

After reading the 4WD conversion by ORE, The Rancho looks like a nice kit but has the radius long arms (binding, rawr!!). If you kept the Tera springs but used the rest of the Rancho kit for a moderate off-roading setup, you could be in good shape.

You could also sell your current arms and other stuff you take off to further offset the cost.

Aren't the rancho long arms also nonjointed? As in they have bushings on both ends of the control arms? Don't quote me on it but I wanna say not all the arms are adjustable.

Found this link with a few good pics from a quick search. 4wdandsportutility.com/features/jeep/0911_4wd_jeep_wrangler_unlimited/index.html

Honestly I'd save my money for something better.

There's a reason why it's being sold for that price.
