Awesome. I'm all set now. Thanks so much. 3" with 8 flex arms and the drag link flip.

This came in after I posted. Now I'm confused...... If these are real issues, why do they sell it? What have I missed here.....?

Because there's a difference between 8 arm setup and 4 arm you might not experience it issue but most people that go with 8 arm are wanting to push the rear backwards. So Dave at Northridge advised me I should decide with 4 or 8 arm. You can always cut your rear 8 arm shorter also.

Im sorry. Yeah, I get there is a difference; I guess what I meant is how does one determine which is correct for the situation. Just trying to wrap my head around the pros/cons of the 4 vs 8.

Keep your stock steering stabilizer until it breaks. I have the 3" teraflex with 4 flex arms, track bar and it's great!!! The only teraflex part that broke after only 8 mo's was their stabilizer. So IMO I'd get a different make if you ever need a new steering stabilizer...... By the way on another thread I'm not the only one who've said their teraflex stabilizer didn't last. Other then that part TERAFLEX rocks!!!!
