money really isn't in the equation it just means I would have to wait a few more weeks to purchase something else. I already have the CV front and rear drive lines enroute to the house, wheels and tires Im going with an equivalent to a 33x12.5x17 Dick Cepek Crusher, and M4 Momba wheels. with 4.75bs. I would like the three inch just for the added articulationto me little more gap between the tire and fenderwell doesn't bother me and besides I will be adding a heavy roadarmor bump to the fron and eventually finding one for the rear and getting the 5th tire and wheel for it. I will be adding an overhead cargo rack that can be folded back to drop the top. a warn winch will mated to the bump. I really don't want to go into the diffs to change all the gears up so I will be leaving those hence my tire size choice. but a CAI will be on the list as well. and maybe lockers added last if I feel I need them. Oh the decisions are the hardest on the lifts.

 

Don't forget to check out RockKrawler. The X factor lift is comparable to the others and the lifetime warranty is on ALL hard parts. Very complete kit.

 

Ya know phish I do thank you for your help and of all the things that I could stress over being in the desert this decision for my lift is the main thing. Not the mortars or gun fire in the distance. but a freaking lift for my jeep. WOW. is all I have to say and by goly you don't make things simpler. lol. that is my sarcasm and yes I am trying not to laugh as I type this. Yeah this is the most difficult decision the next one was wheels the easiest one to make was the tires. Saw them and fell in love at fist site. As for the wheel I wanted to begin with well they only make them in 6 or 8 lug. they were the Moto Metal M0909. Well dang now I debate should I look at the rockkrawler x factor or not. If it is in a 3" lift my decision is back up to three choices now as was before then narrowed to 2 and then it went back up again........... which one to choose. Grrrrrrrr

 

TeraFlex's warranty covers the products to the original retail purchaser to be free of defects in material and workmanship for as long as the original purchaser owns the vehicle.

 

Hey Mutts! I think that should narrow it down to 1...TERAFLEX

 

So that would be the same as the drivetrain warranty on the jeep right now since I am the original purchaser of the jeep. dose that cover it if I bend an arm on a trail in Uwharrie NF? and I know that doesn't cover normal wear items such as bushings. and painted items. Before I read Phish's post I was getting ready to order your 3in lift but then Clayton came into play. So here I go again with the decision making

 

If you bend a Tera, FT , Clayton arm you are going to have alot more problems.

I think you hit it right on the money

 

Mutts I have 4 words for you:

LOOK AT THE POLL

nuff said

 

thats for sure, MY fulltraction arms are perfect after the crash, it bent the frame at the upper control arm location. It ripped the mounts off the axle.

the lift is fine, the bushings are good. The rest of the jeep, engine, tranny, frame and axle didnt fair to well..


I'm going with the FT long arm this time around
