That is very true one reason I chose the Clayton lift is I tend to be very hard on my vehicles don't get me wrong or anything but when you have a hottie next to you stupid things start happening. Damn that Peer Pressure. Anyways as mentioned before Terra Flex has an excelent product and is upgradeable, With the clayton just about everything is adjustable already hince the price tag difference. With the TF getting it close they come to around the same price as well, and I couldn't pass up the lifetime warranty on some parts with Clayton. This was a Major deciding point for me TF has a wonderful Warranty as well. I purchased my kit from Dave at www.Northridge4x4.com . and yes either way you will win with both a great product and great customer service. that goes for anyone buying either of the two kits. now I need to make a decision on the bumpers Grrrrrrrrrr.... well you all have a happy new year.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. We work very hard to keep our products and customer service at the level we are known for, and its nice to hear the praises.
To answer a few of the questions I saw.
1. Front driveshaft. 2 and 4 drs is strongly recommended. Mainly due to its large tube size under extreme flexing it can and will rip the boot, which will causes issues down the road. I tell our customers to keep it on their list of things too do, but a few months shouldn't be a problem.
2. Rear driveshaft. 2 dr is necessary, don't see how you could get rid of the vibrations otherwise. 4 dr is not necessary, but a quality aftermarket one will pay off in the long run.
3. The e-brakes lines. When we do an install I bend the bracket down to give a little more slack. Haven't had any issues, but ive seen enough people asking about it, so I think ill look into making a easy bolt on extension bracket.
4. Rear trackbar. 2 dr required and 4 dr optional. Its required on the 2 dr because of the rotation of the rear axle in order to get a proper driveline angle. 4 dr the driveline is so flat, its not necessary. I usually tell customers with the 4 dr not to get it. See how close it is with their setup (weight will cause this overal movement) and then if its too far off, add it. Very easy to install after the install.
Hope this helps. This was just a quick question and answer. Please feel free to post, or email me for any further questions.
Thanks

Well, I'll be a Clayton owner this week (come ON UPS!), to be installed by Northridge. I went with the 4.5 for my 4dr Rubi. I've heard nothing but good things about Clayton and really am excited to get "Big Green" sitting properly.
