that is what I got when I did mine. I just now got the rear lowers and front uppers on. I have a hardtop, but it wont make much diference. Just make sure that you get the pinion angle as good as you can. I just replaced my rear driveshaft last weekend, and my stock one was still ok. I wheel a good bit too. The numbers that tera sends you with the kit is a good starting point for adjusting your arms. You may want to go a little longer in the front than what they suggest, if you want more caster. The settings they suggested in the front gave me 5* caster.

The front shaft is the important one, if you get the pinion angle correct the rear will last you a while.

just to warn you, those arms are so nice that you will not be able to stop yourself from getting the rest of the set!!! You got that TF solid steel HD track bar??? That thing is awesome. I got the JKS, then the Tera ones came out a week later. The JKS are good, but that tera one is bad ass IMO.

You are gonna love that suspension system. What shocks did you get?

those little arms are tough. This is not the best photo of them, but here is the rear lowers and front uppers I added:


Are you going to use the Teraflex shocks?
