I saw Northridge offering an OME kit with front and rear JKS trackbars for $925. So the only thing missing to be "complete" would be a rear swaybar solution... ?

You might want to check out all the DW threads, I've seen a lot of TF kits in the respondents logs. RC may not be as "popular" but those that have RC lifts seem to like them.
Not sticking up for either mfg here but Death wobble will not be caused by anything on the Traflex kit. It is caused by loose or warn out parts.

I love my lift, the shocks are huge!

If they had the 2.5 coil lift when I bought mine I would have gone that route.

My BB works very well for the price

Really... I thought it was due to not enough caster?!?
Not in my opinion.

Caster will help your Jeep track down the road better ad maybe help "start" death wobble but it would not be the cause.

9 out of 10 times deathwobble is caused by front track bar related.

Not saying anything bad about Tera Flex, but for $1150 bucks, their 4" lift kits should give you a massage after a long hard day on the trail if you know what I am saying.
I'm assuming your talking about the TeraFlex 1251400 kit? Which $500 RC are you talking about?

IMO that is apples and oranges. Are you looking for the cheapest possible way to stuff larger tires under your Jeep, or do you want to increase the performance of your jeeps suspension system along with running larger tires? The much cheaper RC system may be perfect for you if all you need is a way to fit larger tires. If you just want larger tires though, why not just run coil spacers and a body lift?

I agree 100% while I love my 2.5" RC lift, in looking at 3" or larger lifts there are more things to look at besides total lift, control arms,completeness of the kit,etc.. If you just want cheap go with a 2.5' RC lift or Tera BB and add a 1" body. It will clear 37's. If I was going to lift mine 4" Id definitely consider a more complete kit. just make sure your comparing things on a equal basis.
