Tereflex Monster ? (1150$)

Rough Country X-Flex ( 699$ )

Rubicon Express..

I have the daystar full kit....not too many people run it, but it is a quality kit. The good thing is that it's also fully adjustable in case I go upto 6" springs in the future

I too am not a crazy offroader, but wanted my jeep to ride right after raising it 4.75"...the daystar kit definately got the job done, and I think when the jeep is raised anything over 3" the axles kind of come together a little bit, so you have to extend your control arms to push them farther apart just to get it to look right again.

Check out our 3" premium plus, it's not quite a full kit, it just has uppers, track bars and everything else. but they are just what you need to correct the pinion and caster on the 3" lift. The link is in my sig with the full details. It's made in the USA
If you have questions please ask,
You can add lowers to make it a complete 8 arm kit,

Just front lower or uppers and rear uppers
But if you get a deal on a kit u might as well to fine tune everything
When u get rear lower depending on how far back u go u need to take a few other things into consideration springs sway bar hitting bumpstops and or axle tubes
I have teraflex up front and rock krawler in the rear the rock krawler arms are pretty sweet and at a decent price point

Uppers work fine front and rear, the adjustable track bars in the kit align the axles in the jeep.

These two jk's run this kit with no additional parts other than what's in the kit. The black two door is running flat fenders to fit 37's.

Take a look at this Control Arm Comparison that TeraFlex created. It will help you compare the differences in the way control arms are made.

http://www.teraflex.biz/tech/faq/con...-comparison-2/

TeraFlex uses clevite bushings on the lower arms at the frame end to help maintain stock like quiet ride. At the axle end you'll find rebuildable/greasable quiet flexjoints. TeraFlex has a few dealers in Canada also, if you have any questions please let me know.

Sir

If you have any questions on any of the Rock Krawler kits, please let us know. For a full featured kit we would suggest a 3.5" X Factor System with high clearance lower control arms front and rear! The system is all inclusive and replaces all factory hard parts with our product. All of our hard parts come with an Abuse Proof Lifetime Warranty!

Good Luck with your build.

Rock Krawler
