I have the BDS 4.5", haven't seen one bad review on them. With a lifetime warranty, what bad reviews can you get? Also, I upgraded to FOX shocks.

With that said, all 3 options are from what I've researched, the best you can get....

I have the 3.5" BDS. I have had 0 problems and I love the lifetime warranty. I upgraded to the Bilstien shocks and the ride is great.

I wish some of the hard core rock krawler fan boys could tell me what makes rock krawler the best. I hear them constantly say rock krawler is the best but can't tell me why.

One of the popular vendors on this site told me to go with teraflex bc the RK control arms squeak and wear faster then teraflex.

I also see that teraflex has easily rebuild able joints in their control arms.

So I'll be buying my set of control arms Monday. And cost is not an issue. Why would I buy RK over teraflex. Please someone

Because people tend to tout about things that they themselves have purchased.

Love Teraflex. Great customer service. I have not one complaint about their products. Two things I have noticed about Rock Crawler... 1. Jam nuts are difficult to tighten while on the jeep 2. I have seen on multiple occasions the springs unseat, maybe why they call it max travel.


Quick Reply: BDS, Teraflex or Rock Krawler?
