Is there any difference between the elite 4" lcg and elite 6" lcg from tera other than the coils. I am assuming that the controls arms for these kits are considered a long arm. Am i correct?

A quick look at the photo of the 4 inch lift (and comparing it to when I installed my 6 inch lift) I can see that...


The 4 inch doesnt include
The high steer and drag link flip kit
The forged monster track bar

I highly highly highly recommend these 2 items.

Cool right now its a toss up for me I dont think I will run more than 37's but you never know. the cost between the two is not the issue I just want to do it once and not worry about it.

Thank you very much. That is 100% what I have been looking for but I wasn’t sure how it would look on my 08 Sahara unlimited but now I do and I am sold. Thanks for posting the photo and helping me finally decide what to go with.

Default teralfex 4" Lifts

I have the unlimited 09 four door. I went with the basic teraflex 4inch. I got a great deal on it right before end of December. It was easy to install and gave me great lift. Rides great too. I did the track bar adjustment for the front myself and its dead on. I went and wheeled in Arkansas but didnt unhook the front swaybar. I still busted the boot on my driveshaft. I'm getting the driveshaft next and adjustable LCA to get everything straight. I drive it everyday with no wobble or flight steer. I get on the interstate and do a lot of driving too. That kit is really good, but I would recommend getting LCA's and a driveshaft. You can always add to it when the money is there.

Default do it right the 1st time

best thing to do is save up and buy everything from one manufacturer and do it right the 1st time. option number 2 will give you everything you need unless you offroad more than you onroad.

2- Jk 4" suspension system w/full flexarm system w/shocks
* drive shaft mods req. 2 dr
$ 3,016

this is a great kit ^ not sure it will come with front and rear trackbar, but you need those to to re-center your jeep.

if you go with an inferior kit (like i did) you will end up spending 2-3 times the amount by the time you piece everything together.

btw - the teraflex 4" lift is more than 5"!

You may also need extended brake lines
You can also get high steer and monster track bar kit
Both of which are from teraflex. So everything works together with respect to compability.
Its nice knowing all the good quality products that teraflex offers can all be bought from teraflex and they all work together like a dream.
Teraflex also has driveshafts (i went with coast ds myself)

I just bought the TF 4" with full flex arms and HD steering stablizer. I'm going to install it the Saturday. I also bought the drag link flip kit as well (I too want to do it right the first time) but, I had someone else (not on this forum) tell me that the flip kit gave them problems and they removed it. Any thoughts on the drag link flip kit? Also, are there any tips or tricks to getting all the angles and geometry dialed in? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
