Default Drag Link Flip kit

What's the difference between these two kits? Which would you recommend?

The aev uses a stock drag link so I'd stay away from that. I ran it for awhile and blew threw multiple drag links=garbage

With the tetaflex one what is the other bar in the kit? Also, why is there a need to weld with this one?

Besides that^ TF drops the TB rather then raising it. This does nothing for roll center and I believe TF recommends 4" of lift.
AEV and EVO use RHD drag links like mentioned.

I would look into Synergy or RK

TF includes a frame brace as well that needs to be welded to the frame

I would say check out this Rock Krawler kit JK 3.5 Max Travel System I run it. It drives great both on and off road.

Terraflex kit you linked comes with a drag link and a track bar. It uses a drop bracket at the frame for the TB.

If you are interested in a drag link flip, look into Rock Krawler and EVO as well.

I prefered the RK version and have been using it for more than a year now and love it.

OP...with a 2.5" lift you shouldn't need to flip your drag link. If you do, your DL will contact the frame on the passenger side on full stuff and limit your up travel.

I'll look into RK and EVO. I plan to go to 3" of lift soon, so I'm doing a little bit of research on other computers.
