I am a bit biased on Teraflex just to warn you (smile), but I know you will not be dissapointed with Teraflex quality. Rock crawler looks badd ass too. Teraflex for streetability and rock crawler for off-roadis what people are saying. I do not know much about the rock crawler but if you order the teraflex 6"lcg with 4" springs you get everything you need from adjustable track bars, high steer, new drag link, steering box brace, new drag link brackets, new shocks, long arm, new brake lines, quick discos, you name it. You also get a nice belly for clearance. Id like to hear what others say in comparison about the rock krawler for educational reasons....... I picked the teraflex because my pregnant wife and future kids would be riding in my jeep and safety comes first for me and due to the excellent engineering and completedness of this kit I knew it had higher changes of being safer than an incomplete kit in my opinion. Id love to see 38x14.5 km2's on your jeep! Expect them to stick out 3 to 3.5 inches maybe a bit more eek!!! Nice!

Sorry no action pics I still have not test flex and trim and check for bindage/ extending my breather hoses etc. I also want to wait till i weld on my c gussets, install evo sleeves and support my spare tire and install lower gears (i have an auto) before i damage anything.

I am 6ft2" and this is the teraflex 6" long arm.

37 MTRs should be measuring 35 to 36. That's one BIG rig you got there.

Thank you all for the compliments. I love this rig! I hope it proves itself reliable because I want to keep it for a long time!

TeraFlex actively posts on this forum and is available for support all the time. It's hard to beat service like that. I'm running their 6" long arm system and it has perfromed flawlessly. The construction of their kit is great and they're recognized as an industry leader in the Jeep world. I could also imagine the 4" TeraFlex kit netting you closer if not more than 5" as my 6" kit netted me about 7" of lift.
