Default Can you upgrade 4" tera flex to long arm

What I would like to know is can you upgrade tera flex like you can upgrade Rubicon express to long arm. I'm looking to purchase the Rubicon super flex 3.5" and upgrade it later to long arm if I find myself needing it later. Tera flex is cheaper and may purchase that lift if I can upgrade it also. Plus I like the 4" over 3.5"

You can upgrade any lift. Think about it. The term "upgradable" is a marketing term used to keep you buying their parts.

Default upgrade

What I meant is do they sell it in a package are the parts bundled together to convert it to long arm later on.

You can get just the long arms and brackets, without all the other stuff in a lift "kit". Teraflex has it, I'm sure others do to.

With only 4" of lift you don't need long arms.. Plus your gonna loose ground clearance from the brackets, which hang down several inches.
