I've had experience with both of these manufacturers and hands down go Teraflex period! I won't go into details but I won't touch Full-traction ever again.

ive never had issues with my FT kits, of course i do make sure everythings greased up before and after trail rides.

Its made in the USA.

FT had a big batch of bad bushings, that kinda shot them in the foot. I've ran moab and the eastcoast with my current set and have not had issues to speak of.

Yeah they had a bad batch of bushings that they wont send you the replacements for unless you bend over backwards and then you probably still wont get them. This was all after they claimed nothing was wrong with them too.

On the other hand i've got teraflex quick disconnects and the bushings wore out in those. One Private message later they were sent to me ups. No questions asked.

Go with teraflex.

Do a search, theres plenty of guys on here that have got sent handfuls of replacements with no hassle

They are switching to clevite bushing, so its pointless to argue anyhow

If it has to be between those two, I would def. say go with the tera. Wheeled w someone who had a pretty bad accident with his FT arms.

There are alot of other choices that are GREAT and come with lifetime no questions warranties, it's worth it to shop around.

the arms were not damaged at all

Yeah but the point here is their customer service blows. They weren't willing to help out 1 or 2 guys that had bad bushings but when they had a bad batch they still weren't willing to help. Instead they just are redoing the new arms and the people who either have the bad/squeeky bushings are SOL unless they want to buy new ends.

Sounds like good advice if I ever decide to go that route. . .

A great product, customer service, honesty, loyalty, is absolutly EVERTYHING. If and when I find that, I won't ever go anywhere else. Hope you all agree. If thats the case, we can put the crap, and the assholes outa biz.... Which will be great as long as the good guys dont become bad and uneccessarily raise their prices. Nuff said.

Thank you everyone very much for you input...I know this wasn't on my list when I posted this but I am now going back and forth between the TF setup and the EVO long arm setup. Obviously I won't be able to afford their coil over setup, but I could do their long arms and the TF coils...

Thoughts?
