Default 4 inch Teraflex LIFTS

Just wondering...
I have heard Teraflex is the best way to go to get a "tall" 4 inch lift... since they end up measuring close to 5 inches. Does this include even their base model lift? I'm not a huge offroader, but want the lift and tires so i can go to the offroad park every couple months. Would the teraflex "base model" lift work for this? The main question is will this still give me the 5 inches of lift teraflex is known for?

Thanks,
G

Things to take into consideration:
What size tire do you plan on running?
Front lower and rear upper control arms are important!
One or both driveshafts will probably need to be upgraded.
Keep in mind that bigger is not always better, low center of gravity is very helpful while wheelin. Good luck and do it right the first time

I ran the Teraflex kit and loved it! If I could find a damn job and some $$$ I'd be all over another Teraflex kit (yes I changed my kit for another companies kit when I went to work for them )! I'm sure Joe from Teraflex will chime in and help you out in your decision.

All the 4" JK kits use the same coils/shocks, so yes they all are that tall. With a 4" kit I will recommend that you get a set of control arms for the front and the rear. How large of tire do you want to end up running?
