RC 3.25" lift w/35x12.5 on 17x9's. I didn't have to Re center the steering wheel (it's still dead on), No aftermarket trac arms, Not aftermarket control arms and it drives as good as the day I bought it.

Oh and I have 3:73 gears.

I just installed a TF 3" with full 8 flex arms and shocks. Outside of the TF "3in kit" I also bought a TF HD front Adj trackbar. And yes, a new drive shaft was/is needed (I'm still running my stock with a torn boot). I tore the front DS boot my first time out. Rubbed against my auto tranny pan and skid plate. This set up yielded more than 3" and 35s fit very comfortably.

So the teraflex 3" kit 1256200 would cover everthing i need? Would i need the front adjustable trackbar? What about kit 1251200 what are the flex arms for? Which is a better kit for me? Most of my driving is in town. I do some offroading bunt nothing to extreme?

Was just looking at it and the rims i like come in a 5 or 5.5 back spacing so is that too much since the 3" kit says it will fit 4.5 back spacing?

I really like the dick cepek torque wheels. Quadratech only has them with a 5x5 bolt pattern i dont even seen that in dick cepecks site. the only rime they have that has a 4 1/2 back specing in 16x8 which from what i understand is to small for those tires width closest bolt pattern i see there is 5x5.5

That's his dragon. And also, his TF lift gave him like 5-6inches. You don't notice it from the pics cause he's got hummer tires on it, but that jeep is up there.

I love my Black Diamond 3 inch (plus) lift, it was priced right and works great.
