Default Lift Kit Questions on Rustys, TaraFlex 3 in kits

Hello every one, I am posting up for the 1st time on this site, I have to say "this Rock" .
I just bought my 1st Jeep it is a 2010 JK from the dealership I work for here in NV.

I would like to ask you guys and gals what you think about the 3" TearaFlex and the 3.25" Rusty's kits?

I am just trying to find out what is a better lift, I plan on building my JK in stages. 1st is the lift and then ever thing else will came later, that will be another thread but 1st I what to buy a lift before anything else.

Can you help!

Thank 2K2 wrangler for the info, I see that the Rusty's is a lot less is price then the trarFlex. I was always told you pay for what you get, but I was reading up on the Rusty's and I do not see anything bad about them.

I have a guy here at work that is telling me to go with the Trarflex because when I put my rear bumper on in the future the Rusty's will sag, is this true?

Welcome to forum! Now what size of tire's do you want to run? TeraFlex kits tend to be higher than most brands. If you have any questions, please give me a call.

I plan on running 35's. I have a question for you, If I go with the TF 3" can I get the Flex Arm's later as I go or is it less money to buy it all at once

Yes you can add the arms later. But on the less money part, that would depend on the deal you get from one of our dealers. So 35's with a Unlimited and a TERAFLEX 3" with arms added later, correct? The 3" kits do not have a front trackbar, so I would at least add the front TB. What are you doing as far as wheels? Factory or wheelspacers?

i never said i wouldn't run TF, i just said i have,currently, and will continue to run Rusty's. best quality and service for the $$ i think

for springs, track bars, and such that is ... if you want an LA kit, its TF all the way i think
