It's a great system...I love mine!
I didn't notice if you mentioned whether you've got an auto or manual, but if it's an auto, you'll definitely end up needing to replace the front drive shaft.
Can't wait to see pics.

teraflex makes a great product. You will be happy with it. I only run there BB and can say that it can hold up to alot of abuse.

I don't have too much from TF, but the stuff I do have I love. I plan to buy my future lift from them.

Front driveshaft...eventually

Why did you get wheel spacers AND aftermarket wheels?

X2 to both.

I have the 3" lift/Auto and you WILL need a new front driveshaft shortly after you flex the front end for the first time.

Why wouldnt you just get wheels with the proper backspacing? (I do like the rim choice, they are definetly available with proper backspacing 4",4.25", or 5" on the 16's)

x2 what is the backs spacing. The 997's I found are 5.00" and 4.25" backspacing. You shouldn't need wheel spacers for either one.

backspacers are for running stock wheels temperarily, can I get away without the spacers have to drive 72 miles from south jersey to north jersey to swap out wheels.

front shaft on 4drs??

You should be fine with the wheel for that distance...you will just rub when you turn to full lock.

As for the front drive shaft, they are the same for the 2dr and 4dr. so if you have a 2dr or 4dr auto, you will need a new front drive shaft. it is the rear you can get away with more with the 4dr.
