6" Long Arm Kit - Comparison
Not sure if this has been covered. I did a quick search and didnt find it but if its already here, dont shoot, just post the link for me 
Anyway, I was wondering if their were any real comparisons between all the long arm kits out there. If not, I want to hear what you have and how you like it. Also, what you have heard about the companies out there, good or bad.
I will be getting it for an Unlimited (just in case you need that info)

I just installed my Fulltraction long arm kit, all there kits are the same, just different size coils and shocks.
I had to cut and grind all the stock control arm brackets off, which was not hard. Just time consuming. This kit replaces the flimsy stock cross member and has a skid for the exhaust crossover.
I have not seen any other long arm do this. (I could be wrong)
the welds and brackets are extremely beefy, I have no doubt in the strength in this kit. The bracket use some exsisting holes in the frame so you really cant install it wrong.
Here's a link to the install, also look in my album for a couple extra install pics. It rides extremely well, better than stock, no noises from the lift at all.

If any of the vendors would like to throw in their opinion, that would be great too.

TeraFlex has a 6" kit. You have to remove the factory control arm mounts. The brackets are easy to place. This kit doesn't require for you remove the factroy crossmember.
The 6" LA kit #1257600 comes with the new forged HD flipped draglink/trackbar drop bracket/brace kit. Also comes with the Forged Front TrackBar #1753419. With Clevite bushing on the frame side of the long arm, road noise/vibrations are reduced. On the axle end there are modular flex joints that are greasable and rebuildable. No metal on metal squeaks from our joints.

I've got the Teraflex long arm upgrade kit along with Off Road Evolutions coilover system from and rear. I also have the TF HD track bar bracket/brace and high steering kit. I love the Teraflex stuff and would recommend it to anyone looking for a long arm kit. It is very quiet, no complaints at all with it.
Not much to say I guess other than it just works like it should.

The only other lift my local JEEP specialty shop will install and warranty is Rubicon Express.
Love the TF lift. Very smooth and very strong.

From what I've found, I dont believe so. It retains the stock cross member. 
I will be doing some research until I get my Jeep. The last one had a 4.5" lift with 35s, this time I really want to make a monster, as long as my pocket lets me!
