Glad I stumbled onto this thread, was about to go with a 6" Teraflex lift but now I have seen the light......
Looks like it will be Full Tractions 6" long arm for me....

He blew the fronts out wheeling and put the MX6's on. I have them on the rears, but broke the adjuster knobs off the first trip over the rocks. I wouldnt suggest them if you wheel.
I'm not sure why he swapped the 37's back on. I know he still has the RR rims with the kevlars.

for the original poster... another bolt on long arm is BDS 4" and 6.5" lift, and right now BDS is having a big sale 6.5LA kit for $2600 bucks (Canadian coin) awsome deal considering the FT LA kit is a hair under $4000 (canadian coin)
Not 100% how they compare to each other but I bet they would be and perform very similar

Wheel spacers
I point this out because it sounded to me like your planning to put the stock tires back on until "down the road".
Also you can do this lift yourself without much trouble, but plan on MUCH longer than what the instructions say. It took my Dad and I about four full days to install (then another three waiting for rims).

Much to my embarrasment and dismay I could fit the stock tires and wheels on after the lift. The back spacing of the stock rims is about +6", but the rear control arms require about 4 1/2" of backspacing. Moral of that story is to find the correctly spaced replacement rims, or order wheel spacers. Otherwise your newly lifted Jeep will continue to sit on jack stands like mine did.

it'll definetly take some time. I found a couple quick tricks, If you can borrow a Plasma cutter. It'll cut the install time 10X's.
