i have adjustable Teraflex arms all around and wouldnt have it any other way. the other great thing about them is that when i do get aftermarket driveshafts i can totally adjust my driveline so everything is correct

This is a great informative thread
I installed the TF 2.5" lift about a month ago and although the overall ride quality has improved, I'm constantly jerking the steering wheel back and forth at highway speed in order to keep the Jeep straight. It's not a big deal and I don't feel unsafe driving but it would be nice to have the wheels keep a straight line without so much effort.
I know that front adj LCA's aren't necessary with this lift but will it help?
Am I correct in assuming that this constant jerking of the wheel is the "flightiness" everyone refers to?

Usually it's more of feeling of "wandering" over the road. It feels like the JK wants to drift around the road instead of the normal feeling that it wants to go in a straight line.
A good example is the difference in feel between pushing a dolly which has fixed wheels on a axle (no Caster) and a shopping cart which typically has Caster front wheels.
