I will be installing a 4" Full Traction long arm kit myself this weekend. Its a very well made kit, very solid.
Customer service between Full Traction and Northridge has been fantastic. That in itself inspires brand loyalty!

Dozercon with a TeraFlex 4" with Goodyear 37" MTR's
Papa Smurf with a TeraFlex 6" with Goodyear 40" MTR's
Little Crush with a TeraFlex 6" with Goodyear 40" MTR's
Now all three use the same long arm brackets and control arms. So you can grow your JK if you choose. If you have any questions, call me.

The brackets are fine, it just that some installers were burning the brackets on too hot, that made the frame brittle. The additional brackets help to spread the load and increase the welding surface of the brackets plus add strength. TeraFlex also has a tech video series to help out with the install.

I don't know what issues they used to have but my recently installed long arm kit has very beefy brackets. They look stronger than the stock brackets. Have been running this kits for a few months now and no issues at all. Great lift.
