    You look like you are getting a bit more flex than me. I'm thinking it is my shocks limiting my drop. What is the sku on your TF kit?

    It's the old Mopar Stage III that Teraflex made, when Mopar discontinued it they started selling as the S/T3.

    So it's basically this kit https://teraflex.com/shop_items/58f63ee556d70ed493a11a9f with a 1" spacer and longer shock.

    It has to be the shocks. My lift was installed in 2009 before they came out with their falcon shocks. Maybe I should try them. I have long been considering fox 2.0s.

    Ive been a little worried about getting longer shocks. I don't want a spring to shoot out when flexed.

    On my wish list now. Not that I'll ever need'em. Lolll.
    And btw. Not the first time @OFFGRID has cost me money. He suggested the Xenon fender flares over the Bushwackers. I believe he's a hoe for several manufactures. Hahahaha.

    Yes I am all over the place lol.

    There're just way too many options and I like a few things about all the lifts I mentioned.

    Glad you asked about the tires. Going with 35 maxxis treps. Maxxis lists the treps as an extreme off-road tire. I want a lift that will compliment an extreme off-road tire. My jeep sees 80% off-road and 20% on road.

    You're jeep looks GREAT. But 4-6 inch lift is a bit much for me at this time.

    I just think it's awesome that my buddy breaks his parts and RC sends him a new one no questions asked. He's on his 3rd stabilizer bar since March for banging it on the trail.

    I am in the process of opening a Used jeep dealership and accessory shop in Houston. The Hurricane really threw a wrench in my plans. Repairs to the house took all of my savings and then some. I was ready to start buying stock and open the doors when the Hurricane hit. The main jeep and fab shop in Moab closed its doors, and I did go in with a couple of other guys to reopen it under another name. I will be able to use all of their existing accounts here in Houston. I am hoping to get it going this June.

    He does not have a 4-6in lift. He has a 3in lift and then added a 1in spacer. He uses the 4-6 in shocks to get more travel. On teraflexs page his lift states that it is designed with 35s in mind. If you get flat fenders you can run up to 38s on this lift and 40s with the additional 1in spacer giving a total of 4 inches of lift. You don't have to run the shocks in the lift. They are like 200 each. Those shocks he has are designed for high speed over rough road, dunes etc. They are not necessary for rock crawling so you could run a less expensive teraflex shock without the resevoir to save some money. Here is his lift. https://teraflex.com/shop_items/58f63ee556d70ed493a11a9f
