You can pretty much go off the 4 inch write up

jkJason is on the money. The 4 inch write up is especially good if you are doing any trackbars of flex arms at the same time since the Teraflex instructions doesn't cover installing everything at the same time.

I used the Teraflex instructions but I also used the 4 inch write up as a reference to figure out at which points I should be pulling the stock control arms and putting the new ones on.

This is the key. Some things in the 4" lift don't equate to the 3" lift but the control arm part is great. I bounced back and forth between the two and did fine. I used CA measurements from the Tera control arm instructions and it rides well.

ditto what everyone else said.


I used the 4" Flex Arm Lift Installation Write-Up as well, mostly just skip the front lower bump stop extensions (you will be installing the upper ones) and skip the rear upper bumpstop extensions (you will be installing the rear lower bumpstops)

I skipped back and forth between that writeup and the TeraFlex instructions and it all went well.

me?

I have:
  • 3" lift kit with shocks
  • full flex arms
  • I already had adjustable track bars front & rear, but gave away the old front & installed the new HD forged one.
  • I opted to install new extended rear braided brake lines instead of the drop brackets from the kit (totally not necessary, just my personal preference)
  • I also have the frame brace & drag link flip kit, but it isn't installed yet, need to find a trustworthy welder.

Thanks for the help guys, exactly what i needed


If you were asking what i ordered with the kit I just got the 3in lift with shocks, tera discos, and an adjustable front trackbar

Plan to add adj control arms and possibly rear track bar as the money comes in.

My 3" teraflex lift kit w/ flexarms should be on my doorstep tomorrow I was hoping the 4" write-up would be pretty similar!! Hopefully I'll be getting started this weekend.
