I have only used them for some sway bar links once, and the links were real nice. I had a question about the instructions, and called them on the phone. They took my info and called me back with the info I needed within half an hour. I personally would feel good about running their lift. That 6" long arm is a beauty.

What did you guys have go wrong with t-flex?

I had to make the same decision, BDS or Teraflex when I had a 4" lift installed. I think either way is the same result, can’t be wrong with either company. If you are basing your decision on price then ensure all the components are the same and they have the same height of lift.

I went with Teraflex kit because it had the adjustable track bars and everything was adjustable, I think for the same amount of money the BDS had fixed track bars or just brackets. BDS is made in the USA and has a lifetime guarantee.

I have had the Teraflex 4” now for 6 months and have 0 complaints and 100% happy with it. Another reason was Teraflex was giving around 5" of lift in the front so that helped also to pick them.
