I think you get more for your money with the TeraFlex JK Wrangler HD Frame Brace and Drag Link Flip Kit.
http://www.teraflex.biz/products/jk-...-flip-kit.html
http://www.teraflex.biz/products/jk-...-flip-kit.html
The HD forged front flip draglink has been designed to solve several front end issues with lifted JK Wranglers. The new draglink is 'flipped' over the knuckle, and uses a new tapered insert to mount the draglink into the knuckle. The HD draglink is 50% stronger than the factory draglink to hep eliminate front end shimmy and other alignment issues. The forged draglink will thread into the factory adjusting sleeve. This draglink is designed to work with lifts over 4". The kit also includes a frame side trackbar drop bracket to keep steering geometry correct, and a frame brace strengthens the frame to further reduce any front end shimmy or excess movement.
Welding is required.

Only thing that worries me about that kit is that is says it's for kit's over 4". I run the Tera 2.5 spring kit and 35's.
Hey Mr. Tera flex guy, any ideas if it will work with the 2.5 spring kit?

That's a good point. The AEV kit doesn't advise if the size of lift is a consideration, but it desn't have any extra support for the track bar mount and that is what I was looking at.

That AEV Kit is wrong the "* Tie-Rod 'flip' via tapered insert " is not included. I spoke to AEV about it a few weeks ago. They had no idea it was on the site. I told them it was on all the sites and they needed to get it corrected. I almost ordered the kit becase of it. I would have been very pissed.
