NLXTACY, a question:
Why you did not include the upper rear adjustables arm?

And also, you have for the steering damper another option with IRONMAN:

Keep looking at your thread.

I thought there was a reason 
Cool
Cool
with a 4" lift and my LCAs you don't need upper adjustable arms. My arms correct the pinion angle to retain alignment for the stock rear drive shaft to run properly.
I have this week off to finish up a few projects and I'll have time to start on those uppers for you.
All I have to add is that I'm glad you're doing all this work so when I start my lift I'll have an excellent reference!

That's my goal. I've also been reading all of the relevant threads I can find and I will start linking those as well. I'm really trying to make post #1 a work of reference. Not knowing all if the options is kind of a pain. And there is a LOT of really smart stuff out there.
Sounds good to me!
looking forward to see your build!
I wonder which spring coil will you pick, Slee 4" medium or heavy?
Right know I am running J springs from OME with L OME shocks, and I am not happy with my LX fully landed. I would like to switch to the radflo shocks and probable to the slee springs.
good luck

I was given an invite by the TJM guys in Riverside to give their truck with the 4" lift a drive. I will admit, given what I've been reading, that I am drawn towards Slee's offering. I've been in enough OME lifted trucks to feel that OME may not be the choice for me. My problem with both Ironman and TJM is long term use since there is very little long term, or even short term, data.
For me, it would have to be a medium or even heavy, spring offering.
Pete, what kind of lift is on your fzj and how much was it? thanks manI congratulate you sir on having a cool wife!
My wife thought they looked sweet until she had one in the driveway. Now she thinks me
Subscribed! I have a 94 with OME 2.5" and spacers, OME shocks and Slee offset bushings...looking to take it to a whole new level, considering the Superflex radius arms, slee coils, bilstein shocks, ect...
Not sure if i want to go 4" or 6" though! I am probably going to run 35's
Truxxus MT as i ran them before in a 34" size and they are GREAT but big $$$ and heavy as s&?t

All I can attest to on the Superflex arms, yet, is they will never be bent, without death or dismemberment being a greater concern.
Will systematically cycle for shock order in the near future, but based on assessments during installation, expect droop gains (The 345s negate any stuff-abilities) but honestly don't know how much articulation is improved.
Until then, I can't say that they're travel magical, but I'd loan them to creepersleeper (No, I don't know him, but rumor has it he could deform a solid steel block) and not lose a seconds sleep.
Edited: The correction inherent with the SE arms has allowed for the front vibration to be minimized, with an OE configured drive shaft (lengthened with new U joints) in full time operation. A DC shaft is a detriment, in my personal experience, BUT the engineering behind the design contends PT is intended and preferred.
