I'm going to be putting a LA on my JK soon and had my sites set on the TF 3"LA, but then started looking into other companies just to learn the differences (and becasue I'm addicted to Jeeps.. LOL) and ended up getting even more confused, verses learning. I was looking at the Rock Krawler 3.5 Aluminum LA, mostly because New England weather loves to eat up steel, and we live on the water too.. Salt all year round. So my question is, what is the pro's and cons of the different types of LA systems out there. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Tera, FT, and Rock Krawler all have different designs right?? What's the pro's and con's of those designs compared to each other?? And how the hell does the EVO LA system work??

Thanks ---> Confused as hell!

 

Wow, that was a pretty good summary.

The 3.5" Triple Threat PRO Long Arm System is our aluminum version. It has high clearance lower control arms front and rear. It uses the 4 link front end and Independent 3 link rear! Up front it also has a drag link flip kit, HD Drag Link and Pro Aluminum Tie Rod. Not to mention that most of the components are high quality 7075 Aluminum and backed by an Abuse Proof Lifetime Warranty.. If you have any questions regarding that system or any other of our systems please let us know.

Another good reason to choose Rk is that it is Made in the USA!
Not imported from china (TF)

 

Nuthin wrong with Chinese stuff, flip the keyboard over your typin on.

 

So what's the difference (pros and cons) with a 3-link set-up and a 4-link set up? Do they handle differently on road and off road compared to each other? Also, I know there has to be exhaust modifications for the RK kit. What has to been done, and would the RIPP headers fit?

Except the fact that you're supporting the world's 2nd largest economy that is forecasted to overtake the US's economy is some 15-20 years while our economy is in dire need of a revenue influx.. So yes, there is ALOT wrong with buying imports, especially Chinese imports, in the long-term.

 

Check yourself, bet you have as much imported stuff as I do in and on your house, vehicles and everything you own.

 

I guarantee I don't - I look for that, specifically as that's what I do for a living. I have 2 companies that are in house/interior design business and we are the one of the few companies nation wide that sells products that are 100% domestically made. And when i say domestically made, I mean the product is built in the US from raw materials that are bought/grown from US mills. I know first hand how the manufacturers/mills in China run. I've seen it first hand, and witnessed the difference in quality verses US manufactures/mills. The quality is not there, and the workers will do just enough to make the product passable. I could get into this alot more as there are many, many factors which factor into Chinese goods being inferior - One being the communist government that owns 51% of ALL factories in that country which ultimately makes all decisions regardless of what the company itself wants. Again, I've seen this first hand and experienced. This country is still the best in the world at everything we do, for now. I just wish more people would support it so it can stay that way.

 

Ok, you made your point, we can get back on topic and just talk design differences now.

 

DO YOU REALLY BELEIVE THAT?

 

Do you want a job? Very well put again..
