Default Two Questions

Hey guys, and gals. New to the site and Jeeps, although I've been around them for aboout 10 years through a good friend of mine. Just wanted to say awesome site and I'm learning a ton just reading the threads.

Two questions:

2007 Jeep Saraha Unlimited.

I'm looking at the 3" Terra Flex http://www.quadratec.com/products/16190_0001.htm and the 3.5" Rubicon Express http://www.quadratec.com/products/16300_6008.htm

I like the Terra Flex kit better, but it does not have an adjustable front track bar. Is it needed with this kit?

Another question. Are the shocks that come with this TerraFlex kit good enough for a mostly street driven and mild trails or should I upgrade them?

Thanks for any input.

That Tera kit has no Caster correction, the RE kit uses Cam Bolts. Open the Suspension Faq's at the top of this modified area and look at the 'what is caster, how much do I need' topic. Then do a search on cam bolts and see what you come up with.

Ya, you will want an adjustable front track-bar TF makes a great one as does the new JKS bar. The TF shocks are decent and are matched with the springs so they will be fine. You may want some adjustable control arms, Front lower and Rear upper. I have no experience with the RE kit so I am not going to guess on an opinion there. Good luck in your search

Thanks for the input guys. I guess I should buck up for this http://www.northridge4x4.com/proddet...rod=TF-1256200 then huh. I was talking to a local shop and they said with just 3-3.5" on a 4 door that the adj arms are not necessary. I didn't believe totally so I thought I would ask here.
