Default Teraflex lift question

I was looking at this teraflex 3" lift for my 08 JK unlimited. Is it recommended to also purchase/install control arms? Will I have stability issue's at speed with this kit without new control arms?

I have this lift. Yes I had the upper and lower adjustable control arms on too. I love the way it drive's and I have taken my JK to Moab a few times on it does very well with articulation. And to top it off, Teraflex is the best!

I have that lift with 35" Toyo MTs. I do not have the arms and my unlimited does not handle as well as it did stock... I will add the front lowers and rear uppers as the Teraflex rep suggested... Call them and they will help. They are the most helpful company I have ever dealt with...

funny, but I have 4 inch springs and shocks and nothing else except rear track bar adjuster. No arms etc...

I articulate awesome off road, and go anywhere I want. No stability issues, no handling issues, ride is as close to stock and better than I anticipated when I did the install.

Everything I read that would happen and I would need I did not and do not, so do what I did. Buy springs and shocks, and figure a way to adjust your rear track bar, and see how it goes. I thought I would buy arms later as funds eased up, but now I have no intention to. You may not like it and buy arms. Or you may be pleasantly surprised and save the cash, and still surprise everyone off road.

See my avitar for my flex with no control arms. That is not a pose. it was an actual obsticle.

Question Humm.

No one ever suggested when I purchased the 3 in. lift from teraflex that I should also consider control arms, therefore I didn't. Had the lift for about 3.5 months no issues with handling.
