this is the first i've heard the teraflex arms being loud. i was planning on this kit someday. Are the arms noisy or do the grease fittings pretty much take care of that?

x3. Nothing bad to say about the others.

I will give the original poster one piece of advice. Compile a list of questions and then call the manufacturer to get them answered. Not that the Internet is a bad place to get information, but your experience will vary from others. You can get an idea about the character of the business by talking to someone there about your questions.

They are not noisy. You get to hear nature with TeraFlex arms. The modular joints have 2 half bushings with the metal ball/sleeve inside. So there's no metal on metal contact which tend to squeak. You just squirt some grease in there everytime you do a oil change and your good to go. Plus the other end is OEM style bushing and not a poly bushing which can also squeak. And TeraFlex arms come assembled and greased!

I'm recommending an OME kit since you are looking at 33's and obviously ride will be important and it will see most of it's time on road... OME is tall enough to run 35's if you change your mind and the ride is one of the best out there... check them out for yourself though and search.
Quite a few guys run this lift here.
This lift is not for everyone but for my needs and yours I highly recommend it.. good luck.

I run a Full Traction 3" Lift and have had it for about a year and a half and love it. I was runnin 32 in tires and thought about going to 33's knowin I wanted 35's down the road. I bit the bullet and baught 35s. I have a 6sd with 4.10 gears. Moral of the story, if you think you want 35's later go ahead and do it now. Oh and here is my rig. This is my daily driver as well as my fiance and I's primary vehicle.

4" so you can have the flexability to fit what you want. I dont know if milage is a factor but tire size has a lot to do with it. 33 and 35 are not that different in size but some guys clame big differences in milage I am runnin 2" FT and will probably go 1" body for 35's but you should at least have a 4:10 for a 35, probably a 4:88

I vote for the Dual Sport 6" Long Arm Suspension System by Pro Comp (not with 33's though).

I think your thinking of Full Traction, Terflex is great. All the complaints have been about Full traction and not enough white lithium grease.

anyway:

GO WITH THE TERAFLEX>>>
