I just bought the TereFlex 3" Long Arm Kit and it arrives this Tuesday. It is getting installalled this weekend. I will let you know what I think once I'm done. I'm sure you have read that it will be a good idea to replace the rear drive shaft. I went ahead and bought both and I'm changing them at the same time. I bought Coast DSs.

Also, I would check with TereFlex but when I spoke with them the other day they were on back order of their 9550 shocks that come with the kit. I bought the kit without shocks and bought Bilstein 5100s instead.

I had RE long arm, there are well documented bushing issues. I had to completely swap to TF

For me, RE was a complete waste of $$$

yeah, if those are the two kits you're looking at, TF is the way to go. lots of guys just like Enclocal who used to run the RE kit now run something else.

IMO the clayton 4.5 " long arm kit looks and rides the best, this is what I plan to get when I get the cash together but also I rode in a jeep with the 4.5 regular arm it was awsome.
