So, I'm pretty settled on getting this lift but I'm unsure of which configuration. Def with the shocks and at least the front lower rear upper flex arms but I'm considering going with the full flex arms. also, do I need the front adjustable trackbar or the front and the rear? I just don't want to waste any money but I want to make sure that I can dial in the suspension to feel closer to stock.
If you're on a tight budget, front lowers/rear uppers is the way to go. The other two sets are for fine tuning and moving the axles forward/backward in the wheel wells. Nice to have, but they can wait.
The kit comes with a rear trackbar bracket. Get a front adjustable, and use the rear bracket until you get around to an adjustable back there.

3" Teraflex kit with full arms here.
Front lowers and rear uppers are all you "need" but I liked the ability to re-center my axle in the rear wheel wells. The 3+" of lift made it swing forward, and I thought it looked funny without them, but that is more aesthetic to me than necessity. Dont really need an adjustable rear bar with the included bracket, but it is nice if your anal and want to fine tune it.
I love my lift

Is it pointless to have full flex arms without longer drive shafts?
Seems impossible to recenter (front to back, not side to side) the axle without longer drive shafts. Or, do the stock drive shafts have some sort of sleve? When the suspension droops, the rear tires move forward in the wheel well. When you just throw on a set of spacers or taller springs, you're essentially just drooping the suspension (in relation to the arms and drive shaft)...thus the tire looks forward in the wheel well. Longer arms will put it back in the center when sitting on flat ground, but seems like the drive shaft needs to be longer also.
Thanks. This question has been in the back of my mind for some time now.
