Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Thumbs up >>>>>> Teraflex Long Arm Upgrade Installed<<<<<<

Wasting no time, as soon as my new TeraFlex Long Arm upgrade kit was delivered, we started the install. Tonight we removed the fuel tank, control arms, and cut off the rear lower control arm brackets. Here are a few pics:


Day One.
My good friend at Epic-Addictions opening the shop door so I could pull the JK in:




Up on the rack:



Fuel tank removed, cutting off the brackets:

Side by side comparison:



Day two:
Continuing to torch off the old bracketry:




The bone yard of the cut off stuff:



Jeremy cleaning up what was left:



Nice and clean:




Mike pulling the short arms, don't let the socket fall in the frame rail!!!!!



Ty prepping the new TeraFlex brackets:




Finished welding the TeraFlex Long Arm Brackets:






Mike fixing the TeraFlex Long Arm lengths:



Putting the Teraflex Long Arms in place, make sure the stickers are facing out:





TeraFlex Long Arm Upgrade Kit Installed



And my sun burn from welding



A special thanks to Joe At TeraFlex, Jeremy and Bree, Epic-Addictions, Ty, and Mike for all your help with installing this.

I will say, if your toying with the idea of getting a long arm kit or upgrading, do it. Call TeraFlex.
My JK floats down the road now. Much, Much better than short arms with any significant amount lift.

This TeraFlex Upgrade Kit is for those who more or less have purchased a complete short arm kit and are looking to upgrade to long arms. This particular kit does not come with coils, swaybar links, trackbar brackets, bumpstops, etc.... The kit does not add additional lift, but does improve flex, and handling on and off-road.
