Default RUBICON EXPRESS or TERRAFLEX

i was looking at getting either a 3 or 4 inch lift kit for my jeep.
i can get hold of the rubicon express long arm kit or the terraflex long arm kit. i have herd lots of great things about terraflex but not so much about rubicon express.
the jeep is a daily driver and i do drive on very twisty roads but also on the highway alot so i am looking for the best on road performance with the least "lean" in the corners.

in the future i am think about getting evo coilovers so what do ya think?
terra or rubicon

thanks for ANY input

I like my 4" TeraFlex Long Arm kit so far. OK so I'm a little bias here.

yup i sort of did, but why is there not many people with rubicon express i havent herd what is wrong with the kit. i was only looking at it because mopar sell it as a kit for the jk's so its sort of not aftermarket. ie my warrenty will be unaffected if the jeep dealer installs it.

That is not true sorry. It is still a aftermarket part.

I bet you cash money if you roll in with a long arm kit and your transfer case is busted, they are going to give you hell.

Def go with Tereflex. Besides the outstanding products they make, Joe here on the boards is a HUGE help if you need it, and overall their customer service is top notch.... No hesitations, go with Teraflex

In my opinion this should be a HUGE factor in your decision. You asked a question and received a forum answer in 16 minutes from the manufacturer. Where else can you get that kind of service? It would be a moot point if there are no issues but when your jeep (which sounds like a daily driver) is in pieces it is real nice to know someone is there to answer your questions if and when you need it most.

The Teraflex kit was alot of fun to install. I drive down the road thinking I am the baddest vehicle being passed. It has done wonders for my 40 year old ego!
