Question Terra 3" vs. Clayton 3.5" lift

I'm having a hard time debating between the 2 of these. Take a vote and throw some ideas and info around.

I think you'd be served well for either. For me Clayton edged out Teraflex, but it could have gone either way.

TF is good, as are many other companies, but I put Currie and Clayton in a class by themselves. So obviously my vote is for Clayton.

I voted Clayton, cause I'm kinda going back and forth b/w Clayton and Currie myself in the 4" variety.

I see that Clayton has extended front and rear brake lines. Doesn't the emergency brake need to be addressed as well?

No. I'm not sure why not, but I haven't seen a kit address it. I kind of have one on there now as part of the Kilby vapor canister relocation.

I might have seen on the istructions for the RE 4.5 LA kit that they addressed it. But I did what everybody seems to do; remove the bracket holder thingy and throw it away. It doesn't look like it's really needed anyway. And if they think it is they must have had a different engineer on that than the one who did the Evap cannister!

Eh, there is more slack in those, and they come out the middle near the driveshaft. Just bend down their bracket, it is like a coat hanger. That should give you enough.

Being that I have an unlimited and a manual transmission, I think I should be OK to go with the Clayton 3.5 without worrying about new drive shafts. Anything else I should be thinking about correcting with this lift?
